Uptone EtherRegen

Has anyone tried the Uptone a Audio EtherRegen? I just got it delivered, hooked it up between my ethernet connection and my Bridge II on the PS Audio DS DAC. This device reclocks and cleans ups the digital signal. I’m fairly stupid when it comes to all things digital but what I’m hearing is a huge difference. There is an immediate improvement, lowering the noise floor to reveal clarity. The bass in tight and powerful. My first impression says it’s worth every penny of the $640.

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.

droberson02, isn't audiosciencereview actually the opposite of pseudo science? They're actually quantifying w/ measurements, or at least attempting to, while the other camp's argument is "well it sounds better to my ears you cant measure emotion etc" I have no dog in this fight as I believe measurements aren't everything but just thought that was kind of an ironic statement

Anyone who understands how switches work would question the claims made for this device.
