My experience with the Smoothlan has been similar, I have been very impressed with the results. I am tempted by the new regenerator, however I also really like the passive design of the Smoothlan.
SmoothLan Regenerator from Stack Audio
I've been using this for about a week now, and I must say, I am incredibly impressed with the results. The difference it has made in my listening experience is remarkable, and I’m curious to know if others have experienced similar improvements in their setups.
From my observations, the overall sound quality has opened up dramatically, revealing a level of clarity and transparency in my music that I previously thought was only achievable with high-resolution CDs. The depth and richness of the audio have noticeably improved, making the listening experience far more immersive and engaging.
I’ve tested the Regenerator with both a Lyngdorf 1120 (streamer/amp) and a WiiM Pro streamer, and in both cases, the improvements were immediately apparent. Minute details that were once buried in the mix have now become clearly audible—such as the delicate brushes on a snare drum or the subtle layering of backing vocals, which seemed to be missing before incorporating the SmoothLan into my system.
Perhaps the most striking enhancement is the expansion of the soundstage. The spatial presentation of the music has grown considerably, creating a much wider and more three-dimensional sound field. Instruments and vocals are now more precisely positioned, adding an impressive sense of depth and realism that was previously lacking.
Overall, this has been a game-changer for my system, and I’m eager to hear if others have had a similar experience.

@v-fi FWIW, I am using it with an Innuos Zenith mkIII, which is pretty decent streamer, though not reference level. You would think this should not make a difference at this level, but I feel that it does. @knockknock12 thanks for the info, I may have to give it a try. |
