Uptone EtherRegen

@djones51
Seems like you haven't been over to the ER forum and read about how the product works. It is not a buffer. But go see for yourself. -I wondered if this product could make much of a difference in my system but it is a pretty amazing change. Can be heard by anyone. BTW, my streamer fully buffers each and every track and wow, what a difference with the ER. Natural, 3D, musical, etc. Across the board better. Just a massive positive difference. You can see my review over on AS. I couldn't imagine listening without it now. It is easily the best $640 I've spent in audio after three decades of being involved in this hobby.

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.

Does the improvement stay put if you pull the Ethernet cable feeding your streamer. What streamer are you using? I haven't seen one that has enough RAM to buffer entire tracks.

I am curious about this device and may take a chance for $640.

One thing I would like to point out is about the review linked above that says it makes no difference. The review is scattered with sarcastic comments and hyperbole that clearly shows the reviewer set out to prove it made no difference. Maybe he is correct, but the tone of the review destroys any credibility he may bring to the table.

always curious when you see such diametrically opposed reviews. This guy like many here say they hear obvious differences. My opinion is that this device, like many, is system dependent.

In this case there is no risk to try it out! I've found the etherregen to make a very noticeable improvement to my digital front end. That reviewer never had an open mind about the product, and has actually built a brand for himself shooting similar products down. His followers wouldn't be supportive of him if he thought an ethernet switch could make a difference and so his bias was already determined.

There is a large forum on Audiophile Style with countless positive experiences with the device as well as the company. Feel free to ask any questions!
