Popular Post Guidof Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 I've had the EtherREGEN playing continuously for over 500 hours. My impressions parallel those others have posted in eloquent detail, so I won't repeat them here, but I can say this: For me, there are two domains in which the ER brings significant enhancements: clarity and accuracy of timbres. These contribute in no small measure to the enjoyment of music. On a well recorded album, the effect is simply stunning, but even on run-of-the-mill tracks it makes for a major improvement in the realistic reproduction of a musical event. Of course, there is a downside. The shortcomings of a poor recording become even more apparent. My setup is simple: Comcast Cable Modem, HP Desktop (Windows 10), and Vortexbox Appliance NAS (Squeezelite), all plugged into a TP-Link Archer C7 Router. Then WiFi to a D-Link DAP 1522 WiFi Bridge, to the ER, to a Sonore ultraRENDU, to a Benchmark DAC2 and on to the analogue system. Ethernet cables are all Monoprice CAT 6a, USB cable is Phasure Lush^2. By the way, I found that choice of Ethernet cable is important to best complement the ER's virtues. Kudos to John Swenson and Alex Crespi for another brilliant design made available at a reasonable price! Superdad and Jud 1 1 For my system details, please see my profile. Thank you. Link to comment

Also a 30W, 9V zerozone. And the including switching unit. No configurations managed to tame the treble. Within my specific system. . My deepest sympathy for your predicament. You certainly went the extra mile in trying to make the ER work for you. But if a direct connection to the router produces the engaging sound you prefer, why not just live with it and concentrate in the music? Alternatively, if the ER is still promising to be doing something you like, you may consider looking into your analogue system for a possible source of the treble problem. Best of luck in your quest. flkin, soares and Johnnydev 1 1 1 For my system details, please see my profile. Thank you. Link to comment
