Has anyone added a Master Clock to UpTone EtherREGEN Yet? It’s Insane!



Would love to hear from anyone that has added a master clock to their UpTone Audio EtherREGEN? 
I wanted to start a thread and get some of your feedback. It is truly a system changing upgrade!

Full Disclosure: I own CTronic Music Boston - Distributor for AfterDark. 


started this company after I purchased an AfterDark Queen Master Clock and hooked it to my EtherREGEN and it blew me away! Right off my listening chair. I mean I was absolutely amazed! Every single customer has been absolutely blown away and I wanted to hear from other folks. Maybe using another brand or have tried it and I want to hear from them. Stereotimes has just finished a professional review and he was blown away. The reviewer was so impressed he has bought much more gear from me. I am hoping to hear from others. 


Below is my audio system for reference.

pjb255livecom"I only stream music (Qobuz), and am looking to begin optimizing the digital signal chain.But I'm having difficulty conceiving of improvements being so drastic, because the improvements as described appear to exceed the capabilities of playing an equivalent CD. Am I wrong?"


You could just listen and then you would know for yourself
