| Uptone EtherRegen @lancelock One of these days (post social distancing now?) I will make it down finally to hear your stuff. It looks like you have nothing but some of the best gear I have heard running down there these days and a lot of solid thought and research ... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen It would be interesting to know if anyone uses this device with a Benchmark DAC and if so how much difference there is in that case. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen Networks and USB carry only the electric signal needed to represent the bits. Computer protocols used assure each bit is transmitted and received 100% accurately. Otherwise no application that relies on them could work at all. There is no audio si... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen No, clock only comes into play at the DAC where the bits must be converted at the right time to make an analog signal that represents the music. All bits on the network are the same and protocols ensure all bits get transmittted 100% correctly. If... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen OK but there is no clock involved with a network connection, only with a digital audio connection to DAC where the digital signal is converted to analog to make the time-based signal for music.Granted any computer devices can generate more or less... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen ...although its beyond me how any "noise"/jitter reduction can be done on a network connection to a streamer and persist on to the DAC.Mystery to me there......maybe I’ll read the product site some more when I get some time.I suppose its possible ... | |
| Child Damage Mitigation I bet even back in the olden days, the President’s parents couldn’t keep little Donnie away from anything he wanted to touch. Just a hunch....In any case, accidents happen so best to be safe. Some hifi gear is more childproof than others. | |
| Uptone EtherRegen Hey Lance, hope all is well.At a glance, I read the product website and find it very confusing. Network switches normally have nothing to do with sound quality, they merely provide additional ports for data connections.Seems its labeled an audioph... | |
| Floored by Beatles "White Album" Reissue Those demos alone make this release a must have for Beatles fans. | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies Nobody seems to know how or why they work other than claims of improved sound so anything is possible with products like that. Live and learn. I’m sure some will buy used tweaks for a discount. | |
| The System Percentages Thread Hmm that sounds like work! 😫Go back even further than that to the 1920s even. A lot of recordings happened pre-Beatles worth hearing to gain a full appreciation of recorded music in all its forms and variations since inception. | |
| Floored by Beatles "White Album" Reissue Glad you got a good pressing. The digital version I streamed online was Louder overall like most newer remasters but very good and noticeably different even not at full cd resolution. Higher res digital or vinyl must really be good. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have my SB "Looking In" lp framed and up on the wall. Always loved that album cover. SB is well represented in my music library.Saw SB ~ 3 years back at Rams Head in Annapolis, MD. Good stuff! | |
| Where’s My Weakest Link? The Carver pre-amp needs to go no doubt. I had same pre-amp. Replaced on advice of another Agoner at the time with Audio Research sp16 and bingo....huge improvement in every way. Any good quality tube pre-amp should work well with that amp’s 100ko... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! Thanks. "Remember the Future" by Nektar would be another.The 2013 redo of "Snow Goose" by Camel qualifies also, not just the original. |
