Who has used a Genesis Digital Lens?

I've had mine for about three years (paid $350 but that was a lucky find). It does wonders between my Theta Data Basic II transport and Gen Va balanced. I use the XLR input and output. The coax input is used for the LASER disc player and the BNC input is used for the DVD player, so it makes a handy digital switching center. The improvement in sound is amazing. More open sounding, wider stage, more depth, etc, etc. I woudn't be without it.

more like $400 range yes works very well very audible

I'd spend that money on power delivery/noise control...

Psychicanimal,

I already have 4 dedicated AC lines, Foundation Research power cords that are line conditioning, other options Exact Power or Shunyata Hydra but I have not heard that big of an improvement over what I am using now. Have you used the lens? What are your exact thoughts on it? What suggestions do you have on noise/power delivery for me?

Thanks.

A power cord is no substitute for proper filtration, especially when dealing with digital gear. Regardless of whether it's the Genesis, Monarchy, or any other device, you are adding another component, another power cord/filtration issue, another digital cable (with its inherent *issues*), need for footers/cones, etc.

I am a big proponent of proper ground filtration, for a start. So are Dejan Veselinovic, the European audio reviewer and Dan Wright. Dan told me he uses a Bybee to filter the ground of his DIY Jon Risch filter, but that he's reluctant to try to sell the idea to people. To many people, it might sound like he just wants to sell another Bybee. To me, filtering the ground is a requirement. Ground filtration is a rarely discussed subject.
