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.

LOL!! Tested!! This thing got “tested” a year before it was launched from the the Flat Earth Society (otherwise known as ASR), and it was concluded it does nothing. Way before it was even built
I’ve doubted the added value of an EtherRegen. The setup is Ethernet to a Senore ultraRendu powered by an UpTone Audio LPS with USB to an Ayre QB-9 DSD. I think the QB-9 is supposed to handle jitter.  Is that doubt justified? 
‘Is that doubt justified?” The million dollar question with audio.

Basically I see this as two potential solutions, not just EtherRegen, but anything audio:

1) Try one for myself. Then I will know if it works for me or not. Whatever I try, I make sure there is no risk. Or at least just a small cost for returning (I.e shipping back, or some venders have restocking fees)

2) Do not try one at all. Save my money 

As dumb as this logic sounds, it ultimately always comes down to trying or not trying. And admittedly, there are many things that I have “doubts” about, not just audio, but all things life. The majority of these I never try, but I don’t rush all over Internet to read (then write) why that thing I never tried is such a bad idea, snake oil, etc. I just leave it alone, forget about it. But maybe that is just me.
thyname, an alternate to empiricism is reasoning based on knowledge about the operation of a device. If I trust that the Ayre QB-9 DSD asynchronous USB handles jitter then it seems reasonable to doubt that I need another piece of equipment to handle jitter without trying it.
