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.

Well then you know the placebo effect is real. It does not mean someone made something up it is not a derogatory term as some people take it.

Yes sunshine. I have read stuff you wrote thousands of times.

As a matter of fact, all your posts are about how everything is snake oil, placebo, etc. etc. Not just this Switch, but everything that you post on. Cables, servers, DACs, you name it. You are posting on all of them. Remember the Innuos thread?

How sweet of you I don't think I've posted on a cable in months. No, not everything is snake oil, cables, servers, dacs, amps, they can all sound different. The question is is different necessarily  more transparent or better.

Then again this is about an expensive switch that lowers noise better than an off the shelf switch which is fairly easy to measure.

Besides what difference would it make if a switch lowered noise?  The place to measure noise is on the DAC output or even the amp since that's where audible noise would make a difference. If there is a measurable amount of noise there then the first place to look is the dac or amp they must not be filtering properly.
