genesis digital lens


I have read all the reviews (all positive). Is it worth it?

I had one using it with a CEC TL-2 transport. For the money (used)+/-$650, it can improve the performance of your transport. It gave me more spaciousness, wider soundstage with perhaps a slight compromise in bass. I sold it when I bought a Theta DaViD. The DaViD is so accurate, the Genesis'display of timing error would just show "0" while the CEC was around 17-30 ppm off. I would try it if you don't have good jitter reduction circuitry in your DAC. Buy one used only. There are too many of them out there to even consider buying one new. Good Listening Brandt
Definitely worth it at used c.$650. I bought one at that price to use with my PS Audio Lambda/UltraLink combo, and it much improved the sound: in particular, reducing the amoung of digital 'glare' and better separation of orchestral instruments. I didn't notice any reduction in bass response. One caveat: use really good interconnects, such as the Kimber D-60, or you won't get the improvements.
