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.

FYI- the current in vogue jitter reducer/clocking machine is the Apogee Big Ben.
Iv'e used a Genesis Digital lens for at least three years between a CEC TL-X1 and a Mark Levinson # 35 20 bit Dac. Any dac that is lower than 24 bits benefits from using the lens, as in blacker backrounds, extended extremes, focus of soundstage, et al. All the other stuff noted above Bybee, power conditioners etc. although excellent additions, have nothing to do with reducing jitter.
Peter- unless you've modified the switch mode power supply in your Sony, you haven't fully addressed noise control. AC line filters/conditioners don't do anything to
address noise being generation inside your CDP, other than
keep it out of your other components.

I currently have a Genesis Digital lens running the lastest
software, between my transports and my TacT RCS, connected
with Au24 AES/EBU cables. In my system with power supply mods on my transports and TacT, it adds a subtle improvement. Everything sounds more relaxed, more like live music.

I don't see a DAC or digital procecssor listed in your system, so I don't understand how you'd use a lens.
Used one for many years between a Counterpoint transport and a Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 Mk II. Made a real worthwhile upgrade. Then sold the whold shebang to get an all in one player.
Peter, if you try one with your Audio Logic DAC, I will be interested to hear what you think of it. It might be interesting to ask Jerry Ozment for his thoughts. - Brooks
