Wyred 4 Sound's Recovery USB Reclocker Findings For Audio Performance. (Curated Thread)

[Tintinabulum]

if you took 10 minutes to write that useless info then you should go back to school!

Now we can clearly see the benefits of curation...

No. Now we can clearly see the benefits of appropriate Moderation in all threads.

Thanks Dev for the reasonable price power supply solution I will look into that one just like I did with the JS-2 that doesn't have one independent review from a top blogger or publication which was concerning

[tallica1]

Agreed. Technology changes rapidly and now we have a more advanced product over the Regen. The USB clocker Wyred 4 Sound Recovery. An absolute MUST is the Curious Cable USB (from Australia) and Curious 200m Recovery Cable which blew my mind away.

 

This review is spot on.

computeraudiophile.com IS a top 'publication' so if you cannot take the reviews here seriously, consider leaving entirely.

[tallica1]

I completely agree that computeraudiophile is a top publication and I will take it a step further. I think computeraudiophile.com is the ABSOLUTE BEST SOURCE for this information in the world!

[tallica1]

Furthermore my thoughts: COMPUTERAUDIOPHILE.COM is the best source for information based upon the mix of MANY "top notch experts" and passionate audiophile/hobbyists etc (such as myself) sprinkled in with most of our feelings/egos with facts and some fluff. The audiophile world is a "convoluted" place which almost make it a sport to some degree for some people and fun for others. There are people that take offense to a particular point of view if you don't agree with them.. But as long as the disagreement is fair and on point there should be no reason why this is not helpful to all.

In conclusion, this particular thread was set up for Wyred 4 Sound Recovery people not hyping another product which is obviously off topic!

[Possum Jenkins]

I'm not sure why tallica1 is receiving such a pounding here. Is it because he has dared to criticise the forums golden child and one of his products? To all those who whined and said he had no right due to not owning said product, do you actually own one yourself? I've seen one person say they do.

[r_w]

I haven't found a better place yet. I've learned quite a bit on here, hopefully I've helped a few people in return.

 

(but some of the repeat agenda arguing should ideally be stopped at source or moved to another thread it can often get in the way of some very interesting knowledge and experience sharing... "the more hay you throw on, the harder it is to find the needle" and all that. Having said that, there are far worse places to discuss audio, literally brimming with idiots.

 

Long live C.A.

Thank you Possum Jenkins! Much appreciate the support. I actually didn't realize the owner of "Uptone Audio" was really "SuperDad" or as you call him "Golden Child"... regardless my intention was certainly not to insult him directly but having a opinion on the competition thread by "SuperDad" is definitely a conflict of interest per say as this is the Wyred 4 Sound Recovery thread only. But I understand this must be very concerning to him and taken as a threat. I guess everything is political. But freedom of opinion is what makes this site so great!

[Cycleman]

And just checking the Uptone Audio website they only sell 4 products...

 

Very interesting logic. If a company does not make many products, then perhaps that's suspect.

Okay, let's look further.

 

Berkeley Audio Design makes only three products, and two of them are DACs...so how much can you expect from them.

And Aurender currently makes only four models of its music server/streamers...same dangerous territory as Uptone Audio, it seems.

 

And with fewer than 200 posts, can we believe anyone who writes on this forum?

 

I mean, numbers, they say a lot, don't they?

More Ganging up I see. I guess my posts above weren't satisfying for some.

 

Cycleman: I have no problem continuing this conversation if you must..I can certainly walk back my comments about "only a 4 product company" and I will.

 

Now do you really think a valid comparison with both world re-known companies Berkeley and Aurender vs Uptone ?

 

And your logic says that "based upon the amount of posts that are written" by a fairly new member determines credibility or not. Really?

 

Bottom line there is a major threat to Uptone Audio by Wyred 4 Sound Recovery which is really what this is all about.

 

It's obvious.

Oh, Talli, I was just being snarky.

Especially about amount of posts written.

Which may not be humorous to the recipient of such snark.

 

Of course, I sold my Uptone Audio Regen after getting the W4S Recovery, so I'm not sure what threat you're talking about.

I mean, SuperDad has surely been one of the more helpful and gracious members of this forum, but I know he can protect himself.

 

Try grace...that's obvious.

And I'm sorry for my lack of grace, as found in my snark.

Well I guess you missed Ted Brady (one of CA's most respected reviewers) discussing his experience with the JS-2 powering the exaSound DAC he reviewed last year: Computer Audiophile - exaSound e12 DAC Review

 

The fact is, major reviews of the JS-2 are not something we are seeking at this point (though we receive press inquiries from around the world). With our current staff (myself plus 1.5 people) and space, 30 units per 5-6 weeks is about the max week can build, and they sell out 3 weeks in advance. We keep dreaming of the day we can have a few on the shelf, but 260 units later that has yet to happen.

 

 

I actually didn't realize the owner of "Uptone Audio" was really "SuperDad" or as you call him "Golden Child"...

 

Similarly you seemed to miss the fact that my company is listed both next to my SuperDad handle and in the signature line of every one of my posts. Don't know what that "Golden Child" BS is all about. I neither seek or receive any favor, though people do seem to appreciate my honesty and business integrity. But I do screw up once in a while--and I might look back at this post as one of those times. I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls…

 

Sorry everyone for the off-topic. I will try to stay out of this W4S Recovery thread--provided nobody keeps dragging my name into it.

 

Have a great weekend all,

You are the one who creates noise. You never heard or owned Uptone products as far as I can determine from reading your posts. At the same time you make very bold statements. People who have actually compared the RUR to the Regen did only find marginal differences. Certainly not big ones. Same counts for the 'expert reviewer' you mentioned yourself earlier. John Darko only talkes about the RUR outperforming the Regen in a very specific setup (Fighting Fit USB Audio From The Wyred4Sound Recovery | DAR__KO). Besides this, a lot of these comparisons are still appels and oranges because of the power supplies used for comparison and because of other differences in system setup. Cabling for example.

 

If you take this community serious (as you say) you have to respect that 95% (rough estimation) of us that did acquire or listened to Uptone products are very, very positive about them!

[angaria]

Reinstalling the exasound drivers didn't make a difference. Tried plugging things in, in different orders as per Wyred doesn't seem to matter either. This may be a dac that doesn't work with the RUR.

[tallica1]

No worries. We are all are snarky and sometimes say things we don't mean. It happens.

Alex I meant no disrespect. And I certainly didn't realize you were the owner of Uptone.

 

I also didn't know prior to that Ted Brady who is awesome and I greatly respect wrote a review about the JS-2. Had I known that before I spoke I would have never been so dismissive.

 

All very valid points Alex and my apologies for being rude.

Thread is so terribly off the rails.

Just thought I'd mention that I added a 200mm USB link (which was made custom with a 90 degree bend as their cable is less flexible) from Audio Sensibility. So I have their Statement Silver USB cables going to and from the Recovery. Stunning. Will take pics later.

[Superdad]

Respectfully, Steve

 

No worries Steve. I appreciate your statement and the maturity to step back and chill--and to sign your post with your real name. To me that quickly separates you from some folks who have come round these parts and turned out to be really hostile and/or arrogant.

 

As CA founder Chris is prone to remind us: "We are not curing cancer or crushing kittens." Or something awkward to that effect. It's audio and wee are all here to have fun and learn from one another. Nobody has a monopoly on good sound.

Ciao,

Wow. This thread surely does mutate every 5 pages. Initially it was a little suffocating with no leeway/flexibility given to deviate from its stated purpose by the curator. Can we blame him for not wanting to let the reins go an inch? I think not. He was well aware of the natural tendency of threads like this to corrupt themselves without direction. As a result the early days of this thread appeared similar to how it would feel to live in present day Syria. Unbeknowest to the curator, yes the thread was functionally alive, but it wasn't prospering. However, upon his unceremonious disappearance, we began to witness a copious overflow of information. Mostly good, yet some bad. Amazingly these days could be considered the twilight of this thread because, as always, the animal farm will prove to be what it really is.

 

I'm glad the good days lasted as long as they did - I have gleaned some very useful information - unlike WBF, which requires all but a page or two to descend into abject hilarity with associated mudslinging and name calling from people old enough to be great grandfathers. I shall be purchasing both a Recovery and an Intona, and hopefully pair them with an LPS that can individually power them both.

 

RIP thread.

[prg]

RUR with Clearlink Plus USB..bam! RUR with Clearlink Plus USB and Intona..boom! Awaiting my full loom Curious USB's. Hoping it will be BAM BOOM!! Hoping also that it would be game over.

Portable battery recommendations?

 

My Anker makes the first second of each tune repeat. I think I also need 6v IIRC, as the Pro battery has 9v or 12v
