UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Listening Impressions

[russellbobby]

Hi all,

 

In the January batch of shipments but just wondered about a few things. 

‘First my system is as simple as it gets. Supra Ethernet from a Xfinity modem/router directly into a Cary DMS. Streamer/dac.  Streaming Qobuz/Tidal sounds great about 95 percent of local usb attached files and 90 percent of the integrated SD card player in the Cary.

I am building a dedicated room and am integrating a HT in with my 2 channel. New 85 inch Sony 4K and an Atmos system.  How is the video side benefiting from the ER?  How is it integrated into the system?

sorry for my ignorance but have always been on the streamer/dac side without a computer. Did try a Mac Mini system once but to complicated.

Thanks for the guidance,

Russ

I now use DIY supra cat8 whose shielding is only connected to ground on one side.
This in such a way that earth loops are never possible. I also use SOTM black cable and TLS reference, this after Audioquest (cinnamon and vodka) and SOTM iso cat6 lan isolator and the SOTM dcbl cat7.
 
With the ER, everything improved in a way that had never happened before. Really amazing
 
Inspired by the ER in terms of noise and interference removal, I took the same guess by also tackling the AC side. I already use the Z3 and monsoon cables from Audioquest with great pleasure and last week I bought the AQ niagara 1200 EU.
What a party in combination with the ER, even more amazing!
 
At the moment I am really afraid that something will break. The SQ is so good! 😍

+1 on Marseilles. 

I have had my ER in my system for 3 days   Xfinity modem/router >ER>Cary DMS 600 >Odyssey Kismet Extreme Monos. Ethernet cables are Supra and I did swap out the stockPC for a Audience Au24Se cable I had laying around 

Simple  as it gets and I wondered if I would benefit as much as the computer gang 

Wow. Everything has already been said. Texture and low level detail. I swear I can hear the note on a few songs with horns actually moving out from the instrument.  I wish I could explain better. My new listening room will be ready in 6 weeks or so and can’t wait to hear it in a  29X18x10 room with a swarm sub system and an Isomax wall system. Going to real treat listening to the ER in a  proper room

Already satisfied so any more improvement is icing on the cake!!

For me, after introducing the Ether REGEN between my router and my Roon Nucleus+ with internal SSD holding my music library, I have become agnostic as to whether I play tracks from Tidal or the SSD.... 

I have the same findings. In fact it may be surpassing the local files played off an attached 1 tb hdd usb attached hard drive to my Cary DMS 600

if I attached the usb hdd to a router and then to the ER would I get the same benefit as the streamed files from Tidal? Sorry for my ignorance.
