Only been a few hours, at 100 Mb/s, music is coming through OK at DSD128. Just trying to emulate if an EtherRegen is in circuit as close as I can.

 

With top equipment the EtherRegen has best SQ when using the A-side only, so staying with 1Gbps.

Hi Matt:

Please do not spread that as a rumor. The only folks who seem to like to stay on the EtherREGEN's 'A' side (not crossing our active differential isolation and rechecking moat to 'B' side) have been a few owners of the $25K-$30K Taiko Audio Extreme--and they are using the SFP port on the 'A' side for optical connection to their Taiko.

 

We have a great many dCS DAC owners (both Rossini and Vivaldi) enjoying their EtherREGEN's A>B (or B>A; other than number of ports and speed our piece is symmetrical performance-wise for data/clocking/power on both sides). If those DACs don't qualify as "top equipment" I don't know what does. Also Lumin users, to be on topic here. 

 

Of course people are free to utilize the EtherREGEN in whatever ways work and sound best for them. A careful examination of the technical highlights of just the 'A' side reveals our design to be quite advanced and focused on performance for audio systems.

 

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

 

the EtherREGEN is a great product for sure, some like it more using the A-side only, some like it crossing the moat.

But preferring the A-side only and copper to copper is not limited to Extreme owners:

BTW, I should have said "top servers", not "top equipment".

My impression: The better the server the more liking for the A-side only.

 

So I would be happy to get a version of the ER with the technique of the A-side only, maybe not just me. 🙂
