Uptone EtherRegen

BTW, my streamer fully buffers each and every track and wow, what a difference with the ER. Natural, 3D, musical, etc. Across the board better. Just a massive positive difference.

Does the improvement stay put if you pull the Ethernet cable feeding your streamer. What streamer are you using? I haven't seen one that has enough RAM to buffer entire tracks.

I am curious about this device and may take a chance for $640.

One thing I would like to point out is about the review linked above that says it makes no difference. The review is scattered with sarcastic comments and hyperbole that clearly shows the reviewer set out to prove it made no difference. Maybe he is correct, but the tone of the review destroys any credibility he may bring to the table.

always curious when you see such diametrically opposed reviews. This guy like many here say they hear obvious differences. My opinion is that this device, like many, is system dependent.

In this case there is no risk to try it out! I've found the etherregen to make a very noticeable improvement to my digital front end. That reviewer never had an open mind about the product, and has actually built a brand for himself shooting similar products down. His followers wouldn't be supportive of him if he thought an ethernet switch could make a difference and so his bias was already determined.

There is a large forum on Audiophile Style with countless positive experiences with the device as well as the company. Feel free to ask any questions!

I am still very happy with this device. I don’t understand why some say it doesn’t work. Maybe there is more noise in my system to fix because of long cable runs and multiple switches but it makes an a very noticeable improvement. 

"I don't understand why some say it doesn't work."

I heard a very definite improvement in detail when my DAC was configured for Ethernet input.  There are other considerations for shared power supplies that can cancel out the isolation.  So there is a configuration element.

Another reason is bias, like the pseudo-science of the mob on audiosciencereview.com, or those who insist quality cable can't make a difference.
