UpTone EtherRegen measured. It's a switch.

From Amir's review:

 

"So I started with my generic switch connection and started to stream some of my reference quality content. While the music was playing, I switched Ethernet cables, this time having Port B of EtherRegen feeding the Matrix i. There was absolutely no audible difference. I then switched back to generic switch feed. No difference. I switched back to EtherRegen. No difference. None. Nothing."

 

If I am following correctly, Amir's subjective listening evaluation was sighted.

 

If we can agree there is a theoretical possibility that not all sonic aspects we can perceive with our hearing can be measured with Amir's equipment, then in such case, wouldn't Amir's review be more complete and valid if he sent the ER to an unbiased group to perform unsighted, controlled listening tests, then add those results to his review?   

 

If Amir is telling his readers the ER does nothing, it seems to me, without doing the controlled listening test with independent, unbiased listeners, then his conclusion should, at a minimum, be taken with a grain of salt. 

 

Caveat: I don't read/follow ASR, so apologies if I am mistaken on Amir's testing methodologies.

Absolutely, I have no problem with your post.  The claims of any company selling anything should be taken with a grain of salt, unless scientifically validated using sufficient testing.
