Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB

Asynchronous USB does not need reclocker, but can benefit from clean supply or electrical noise removed from the signal (conditioned). I would always placed the best cable on the clean side: reclocker to DAC.

I think most modern dacs are asynchronous. Just wondering if either a reclocker, or isolator (like the Intona) or a D-D converter like the EITR could improve the signal at all.

Thanks for the kind words but any paise belongs to those among us like @fsmithjack who provide honest advice and counsel to others. As far as I’m concerned the “courage” to post this is much akin to the famous quote attributed to the late golf great Bobby Jones who while competing in a major championship committed an infraction not witnessed by any other and recorded a penalty on himself, costing him a chance at winning. The press was paraing his character and he replied, “thats like congratulating someone for not robbing a bank”.

For the better part of the last 2 decades I have used Audiogon as a resource, a database of valuable experiment and anecdotal results of others. Ive not posted much over that time unless I really believed I had something pertinent to add. We have all learned through the years how to differentiate the posts from fanboys and those posting for some wierd kick they get by fabricating a fantasy system they dont actually own that they then expound as best ever. We have also learned to distrust some sellers by just examining that they joined Audiogon on the day they just so happen to list a perfect item for sale for pennies on the dollar with zero feedback. Too good to be true right? Naturally, through our lives we move from automatic trust to, as we age and experience life, automatic cynicism. 

During my interaction with @fsmithjack I neglected to suspend my cynicism during a transaction on Audiogon with a fellow member who has extensive, perfect feedback as I do. My bad. He deserved better.

Hello ghasley,
I just had a gentleman who is buying a device from me email me the link to this thread. It was very kind of him to do that and I wanted to thank you for your kind words. I realize it was several years ago but it is never to late to show my appreciation and say Thank you. You made my day!

@fsmithjack 

My honor. In retrospect, you were just further along in your understanding of the digital chain. I enjoyed the ISO Regen and then moved on to the Innuos Zenith. I then enjoyed the MSB Pro-USB interface and I have now moved on from usb entirely. I’m presently using ethernet into a Boulder 866 and the Aqua Linq w/HQPlayer in another setup. In retrospect though, the ISORegen was a real eye opener. Most of us don’t realize what the next level is until we hear it. Your advice then was very helpful and I’m grateful to you for that.

Have a great day and I’m sure, whatever you are selling to the gentleman you refer to, that he will enjoy improvements in his system. 

Thanks my friend. I am about to do you another solid audio favor. My newest hidden gem is the best yet!

if you are running Ethernet anywhere in your audio system I give you my word this will absolutely blow your mind. It will be an upgrade nothing else you have ever done will match and it’s not expensive based on how much it improves your system. Your system has come a long way by the way! 
You need to have Ethernet as part of your system. If you don’t use Ethernet this upgrade won’t work. You also need to own an Uptone Audio EtherREGEN.

I recently become the North American Distributor for AfterDark audio products. We specialize in OCXO 10MHZ Master Clocks and Linear Power supplies. 
We designed a OCXO 10MHz Master Clock specifically to work with Uptone Audio EtherREGEN. It takes the EtherRegen which is great little upgrade on its own and blows your system up. You just plug this clock via a BNC cable to your EtherRegen. That’s it. 
I have just today had 2 guys going bananas over it. It is the biggest improvement you will every make for cheap money. My clock sells for $535 plus shipping. 
My buddy who can’t believe how good it is owns the Lampizator Golden Gate DAC, Innuos Statement player, Magico S7’s he can’t believe it. This is a 10,000 better then ISO Regen. I know that was years ago but if today anyone uses Ethernet anywhere is their system I promise with all my heart this is the biggest improvement to be had anywhere at any price. 
Here is the website below to check it out. I have had it in my system maybe 3 weeks. I still can’t believe how good it sounds. I was all excited at my new amp I bought took me 8 weeks to get. It’s the best I’ve ever owned. Ypsilon Phaethon Integrated Amplifier. It’s $25,000 Integrated. It is such a beautiful sounding amp. This $535 clock was a bigger upgrade? How it’s possible. I guess it’s because it effects the source. It changes the source. Read about. I promise you will thank me. This is the best upgrade I’ve ever come across. I love it so much I became the North American Distributor! 
All you do is hook a BNC cable from this clock to the EtherRegen and plug it in and bam. It’s instant. There is no wait. No hmm I think I hear something. It’s instantly oh my holly - are kidding me? How is that possible type of upgrade! 
Check it out. I promise you will thank me!
