Who has used a Genesis Digital Lens?


I read about these many moons ago. They are selling used for around $600. Have you used one in your system, what digital components did you use with it, and was there a significant improvement. Have you compared it to any other units? If so what were they and how did they compare?

Happy Listening.

I currently use a Lens. I have it inline between my Sony DVP-555ES and my Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista DAC. I previously had the lens between a cheapie Sony DVD player and my Rotel receiver (acting as DAC). That old combo, before the Lens, made your ears bleed. I chalk it up to horrible jitter in the original source. Putting the lens in place was an incredibly positive experience and really sold my wife and me on the importance of good equipment. I think $600.00 is a bit high but it may be that the Lens is just selling for more than it was 3 months ago. I picked mine up for $475.00 with the plastic remote.
I've had mine for about three years (paid $350 but that was a lucky find). It does wonders between my Theta Data Basic II transport and Gen Va balanced. I use the XLR input and output. The coax input is used for the LASER disc player and the BNC input is used for the DVD player, so it makes a handy digital switching center. The improvement in sound is amazing. More open sounding, wider stage, more depth, etc, etc. I woudn't be without it.
