Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I can second the recommendation of Brett Messler at Audio 202 in Far Hills NJ. Bret is a hell of a nice guy, very easy going and carries items before they are well known. Even if he does not have what you like it will be an enjoyable time well spent.

Davide256 Well, yes and no if you have the best already. The following owners of the DAC's listed below have all said that they have heard a worthwhile improvement in sound quality using the Regen. Now that was with the "Green" Regen. All Regen's ... 
REGEN by UPTONE AUDIO
Coli, that is great. But I am talking only $175.00. The Regen is not just re-clocking. 
REGEN by UPTONE AUDIO
Jperry, but I am not touting. Just go to the links and all is explained much better then I could ever. However, the Regen regenerates the signal from your source(usually a PC) coming through your USB cable directly at the USB input of your DAC. It...

Really, it beats the TotalDac USB for just $1,500+ more. That is amazing!!Look, I am not trying to be a jerk but for that price it should make a $2,000 DAC sound like a $10,000 one. Of course the question is how does it compare to the $2,000 Syner...

Wisnon, I was debating for several days whether to post that here as it was so long but I am happy that you did. As you know there are a few more that can be reposted but hopefully the above will be enough. (Who am I kidding, ha)

Thanks Wisnon for trying to explain the Regen. However I think you may have misstated one or two items. I have asked Alex, of Uptone Audio, to see if John Swenson could come on here and explain but I am not sure he ever saw my message in his overf...

Matt, the Regen is designed to improve all USB, so most likely. There are owners of VERY high end DAC's that have reported a noticeable and worthwhile improvement when using the Regen. Though the last time I looked Uptone Audio does not have a mon...

Mitch2, yes I am talking about the Regen by Uptone Audio.No, it is not "just a reclocker". I am trying to see if one of the designers would be willing to answer your question by posting on this thread.Yes, I have one in my system and I am very imp...
