UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Listening Impressions

[Sonic77]

What a blast last night was, listening to the EtherRegen in my system for the first time, it was fantastic.  I was using the UltraRendu with the inakustic usb cable, my dac was the Chord Blu mkII/Dave combo, and I was using, I believe a cat 7 flat ethernet cable, nothing fancy. The sound was glourious as everyone is describing, deeper sound stage, separation of voices and instruments, inner details galore. I’m looking forward to more break in as these impressions are the EtherRegen right out of the box.

I am going to hook up the OpticalRendu later today and see how that sounds, see if it is any different from the UltraRendu. I also have a Mutec MC3+USB that I want to experiment with and see what changes that brings.

Anyway, I am really happy and wanted to give my first impressions of the EtherRegen that is still not broken in yet.

Finally, I want to say that those Banjos sound amazing 😊 Yee-Haw!

Maybe a dumb question, but why are you connecting the SonicTransporter into the switch rather than into the eR, while using another port on the eR for your Xfinity modem?  Doing so would get the modem “out of the way” and used only for the Internet and accessing whatever you need from the SonicTransporter (Roon, etc.).  It would streamline things and possibly help uncover a potential source of your angst. 

I just connected to my SonicTransporter from the eR then from there to the SonicTransporter to the ultraRendu, (bridged) if you can't hear a difference there, maybe an ear doctor visit is in order.

If ASR thinks their so called "review" is going to stop people from buying eR, they are wrong, too many people singing the praises of this device.

The real reviews of the eR are in this thread, this many positive reviews can't be wrong.
