UpTone Audio USB Regen Listening Impressions


Recommended Posts

al210, the 2Qute is the DAC I'm presently saving up for. It is frustrating to keep reading reports now and again of the Regen not benefiting this DAC. Could it be simply because you are not using the solid USB connector?

 

Could it be the 2Qute has design efficiencies that

some other dac's lack causing the regen effect

to be non-consequential?

It is possible, but there are several people here (including one reviewer IIRC) using the REGEN with a 2Qute and reporting worthwhile results.

 

Other 2Qute owners please chime in. I have been doing daily 2Qute

web searches for weeks as I am strongly considering a purchase.

Aside from one comment by one reviewer that the 2Qute benefited

from a regen-js-2 combo I have seen only anecdotal reports of

vaguely marginal to negative sq. differences from the regen/2Qute

pairing.

Yggy+Regen=best decision unequivocally

and unequivinstrumentally; having heard every

dac in the known worlds please accept my

humble unbiased opinion that the Yggy+

Regen(hard adapter)->pyst schiit usb->

edo/sbt=irreproachable primo dac sound

as independently verified by a team of

discredited discheveled dismissed JPL

scientists.

 

actually.....my first few extended listening

sessions revealed punchier bass and less

cymbal sibalance but also less musicality.

Then snap. Things got riveting. Interesting

that post Regen my comfortable listening

level is +7-10 decibles. Great product.

Its been almost a week with the Regen

feeding my Yggdrasil dac. I removed the

Regen today and the difference was

undeniable. With Regen bass and cymbals

gain realistic tone and extension.

Nothing subtle. Obvious improvments.

The Regen is back for good. I wonder

about guys who are preoccupied with

measurements. Just saying.............

Anyone tried one with the Schiit Yggdrasil? Just curious if there any improvements to be had by using the REGEN

 

I've had a Yiggy and Regen for five months. In

my system the Regen definitely enhances lower

and upper frequency definition; overall a cleaner

sound. I stream from a squeezebox touch which

perhaps benefits more than other sources. Like

every other component it's system dependent.

With the genereous return policy what's to lose?

 

Looking forward to trying the slightly less

mysterious UpTone DC-DC LPS.

did you ever compare the SBT - USB- Regen - Yggy vs. SBT - Coaxial - Yggy? If so, what's your take on it and which cables did you use?

 

IME the SBT-USB-Regen-Yggy has a finess

and subtlety that keeps me interested.

SBT-Coax-Yggy exagerates bass and highs

which gets boring. Cables, I use the

hard-adapter and splurged for a Schiit

PYST usb :)
