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’m also a fan of the etherRegen. I use a fiber media converter to run fiber into the etherRegen and then use a Supra Cat 8 cable out of the etherRegen and into the Zenith Mk.3.

The sum of these changes made a big difference.

I'm still using the stock power supply, curious what an LPS can do. 
You’re very welcome.

The solution is probably a bit overkill. It seemed like the FMC made a bigger difference before I had the etherRegen, but since there was a fiber port available--and I already had the FMC--I made use of it.

I’m going to experiment with attaching an external clock to the etherRegen next.
To use fiber with the etherRegen, you’ll need three components:

Qty. 1: Fiber Media Converter (FMC)

.
Qty. 2: OM1 SFP Modules

Please note: Qty. 1 SFP module is included with the FMC bundle from the link above.

Qty. 1: OM1 Fiber Cable

Once you have all the components, the config looks like this:

Ethernet into the FMC
Fiber out of the FMC and into the etherRegen.
Ethernet out of the B side of the etherRegen and into your source (Zenith in my case).

Small Green Computer also offers and "audiophile" version of the FMC, which I haven’t used so can’t offer any insight.
