Uptone EtherRegen

It’s not magic it’s called a buffer which even a $50 netgear switch has.

When you pull a cable and the music keeps playing it's playing from the buffer. I don't  care what they call it but it's still a buffer. I never mentioned sound quality I have never heard the device I was commenting on jinjuku post about music playing without  the cable plugged in.

Anyone who understands how switches work would question the claims made for this device.

Of course you did sweet pea just as I knew what you would say.

Never said people couldn't enjoy. I said if you understand how switches work you would question the claims made about it. I am sure hundreds if not thousands of people who use these devices have no idea how ethernet, modems, routers, switches, hubs, nodes actually work, doesn't mean they can't enjoy their placebo high.

Should be your not you are.

justify you’re claim so actually

You have no idea if I have done a controlled double blind test of this item, have you?

Well then you know the placebo effect is real. It does not mean someone made something up it is not a derogatory term as some people take it. 

How sweet of you I don't think I've posted on a cable in months. No, not everything is snake oil, cables, servers, dacs, amps, they can all sound different. The question is is different necessarily  more transparent or better. 

Then again this is about an expensive switch that lowers noise better than an off the shelf switch which is fairly easy to measure. 

Besides what difference would it make if a switch lowered noise?  The place to measure noise is on the DAC output or even the amp since that's where audible noise would make a difference. If there is a measurable amount of noise there then the first place to look is the dac or amp they must not be filtering properly. 

Beats me, you addressed me first sugar plum.

Jitter and clock phase noise are different ways of quantifying the same phenomenon. Jitter is measurement in time, phase noise is in frequency.
Mathematically the relationship is quantified so engineers designing digital components, DACs, ADCs can filter the jitter/phase noise. Modern DACs even cheap ones do a good job of this.  Of course this is information in the packets it has nothing to do with the clock in the ethernet wire, once the packet arrives that timing is gone the packets are then in memory. Only the clock embedded in the signal works with the DACs clock. 

this is not about "jitter reduction". It is about reducing leakage (both high-impedance and low-impedance) and reducing clock phase-noise.

I leave the counting to you my sweet pea. 

The jitter reduction ultimately occurs at the DAC although it’s done so by controlling "pollution" of the DAC from the switch.

Yes, so as long as the DAC does its job the amount of "pollution" is not relevant unless it causes dropouts or stuttering. Simple test hook up the device if the DAC works without problems fine, now remove the device if the DAC still works without problems then there isn’t enough "pollution" on your wire to matter. It’s actually the software in the streamer that deals with the IP/TCP from the switch. The DAC and  streamer software or /OS negotiate the clock not the switch and DAC.
