Regen by Uptone Audio

Yes, that my be it.
Actually, I'm not really using my computer. I'm using a Bryston BDP-2 with 2 2TB hardrives attached to it. The Bryston is then plugged into a PS Audio Direct Stream Dac via usb cable. That is where the Regen comes in.

Ozzy, maybe it's because Audiogon is less focused on computer audio vs other audiophile sites, not sure.

Gareneau, Thanks for the information. Hifiial, Thanks also for that thread. It's just seems strange that there is not much interest in the Regen on Audiogon.
I find it to be quite a bargain.

Ozzy, here is a thread on the Audiogon Forums that I had already started about the Regen.

If your sure the glare is coming from your digital playback it might help. Can't tell until you try it. But glare could be coming from another source and it won't help that. The Regen will improve your overall sound

By the way, Uptone Audio will shortly be releasing a bespoke power supply for the REGEN.

Gary, Not sure if its a "cure all" but it did provide substantial improvement for me.

Arh, When I first read about it on Computer Audio, I figured it was designed to help desk top computer audio.

But, the tweaker that I am, I had to try it.

The Regen is sensitive to a upgraded power supply. Instead of using the standard power supply that came with it, I'm using the new iFi power supply which adds another layer of depth.

I also have on order a very beefy power supply with R core transformers, however, it will come from China someday.

I encourage others who are using usb connections to their Dacs to try this little Gem.

Ozzy and Alan,

I'm experiencing a bit of digital glare on my PC audio-based playback. Will the REGEN help with this?

It is just hard to get excited about another gadget of the month that will be surpassed in another few months as digital technology progresses. It is like pharmaceutical commercials on TV. If you have to ask your doctor to give you more drugs then he is not really your doctor, he is your dealer. It is all about profits.

But back to audiophilia, just let Moore's law run its course here and buy the next great DAC and replace it in another year or so.

Just got mine yesterday. This device really works. In my system the reach out and touch the artist illusion is really enhanced and I thought it was as good as it could be. I also halve an Audioquest jitterbug coming
The Regen has been talked up on lots of the other forums. I have yet to hear a negative reaction and my bias was thast it probably wouldn't do anything. I was wrong
