Hello everyone.  My Uptone EtherREGEN arrived last week and I must say it has made a very good impression on me.  It's still breaking in but I'm already considering my next move to clean up the digital stream.

I am curious how many are using an LPS on the modem and router (I have both) and what the result has been.  I have heard this can be a significant improvement but I'm not sure how significant those gains would be with the EtherREGEN downstream.  Does anyone have experience to share with the modem and router on an LPS and an EtherREGEN downstream.

Uptone says I need to get the JS-2 LPS because the UltraCap LPS-1.2 doesn't have enough amperage.  Only in this hobby do you spend a grand on $100 of cheap electronics :(

@david_ten is correct. I wasn’t clear but I am talking about the modem and router.

Here’s the chain:
Brick Wall power conditioner > iFi 12v power supply (2) > modem and router > 50 ft. Ethernet cable (generic) > EtherREGEN with LPS-1.2 > PS Audio DSD Jr. bridge > LTA MZ2 > Halo A21 > Tekton DI

Planning on getting a .5 meter Platinum Starlight 8 Twinax Ethernet cable as well.

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

I was planning on testing that one out as well. For the price I’d be crazy not to.

Thanks, this is great info.  I never considered wifi because the DS Jr only accepts a hard wire connection but I'm sure the satellites have an ethernet jack.  I actually researched mesh wifi a couple months ago to get better reception throughout the house  and decided to hold off.  I  guess I need to revisit that decision.



I'll probably go with Google.  $150 for three at the moment.  I've seen worse.
