Uptone EtherRegen

Has anyone tried the Uptone a Audio EtherRegen? I just got it delivered, hooked it up between my ethernet connection and my Bridge II on the PS Audio DS DAC. This device reclocks and cleans ups the digital signal. I’m fairly stupid when it comes to all things digital but what I’m hearing is a huge difference. There is an immediate improvement, lowering the noise floor to reveal clarity. The bass in tight and powerful. My first impression says it’s worth every penny of the $640.

I've been using a Regen since August.  It's in series between a SOtM-modified hub and a SOtM trifecta into an Esoteric K-01X, all synchronized to a 10mhz rubidium clock.  In my application the Regen improves things, extending LF authority and adding warmth and suppleness to the midrange and treble.  No brittleness. The outboard clock and a Zerozone 9V linear PS are worthwhile improvements.

The only thing I don't like about the Regen is that it periodically hangs and needs to be rebooted, particularly when the network server is initially powered up.

I’ve used the ER with a 10mhz clock and a Hynes SR7 power supply. It is a nice product, but unfortunately has been unstable with drop outs and disconnects in my application. As mentioned in another thread, instability may occur in combination with a J-CAT Net Femto EN card. As that card adds more performance than the ER in my application, I have retired the ER. Looking forward to the next version of ER in 2023.
