Anyone else order UpTone etherRegen? Percent improvement?

I’m convinced the Mutec Ref10 adds value to the EtherRegen, in particular when coupled straight with BridgeII using good RJ/E. This audiophilestyle topic offers nice insight about extern clocks with the ER.

I took the Matrix route. Although my (modified) MelcoN1ZS10 offers sophisticated RJ/e output it immediately became clear that the BridgeII was surpassed going AQ Diamond usb>Matrix>AQ Diamond i2S>DS, so i dismantled the Bridge.

Adding an UpTone UltraCap 1.2 to the Matrix was another nice jump up.

Thereafter came the EtherRegen, with my AQ Diamond RJ/E into the Melco SQ-wise a nice step up streaming Qobuz and Tidal.

Most recently I purchased a 6V Farad Super3 with SR Orange fuse, Furutech Rhodium AC inlet and upgraded DC cable level 2 silver. Connected the Farad (powered by P10 with Siltech SPO-18m) to the Matrix and OMG, wasn’t prepared for this one. Quite unbelievable what a really good LPS can do to the Matrix, this is a revelation!!

Finally connected the Uptone to the EtherRegen which ultimately yielded another small improvement streaming Qobuz & Tidal.

I have recently added a Matrix and am breaking in the etherRegen both good additions to SQ. I also added SBooster LPS to each which raised the SQ again. Having some time on hand, I added vibration products to the Matrix and both SBoosters. Again, an improvement in SQ. I use Harmonic Resolution Systems footers and damping plates to good effect. I guess I will upgrade the power cord on SBoosters and may even go to the Synergistic Orange fuses having had good luck with fuses on my components.

Just got mine. First impressions are not sure … The high end is sharper than without, altho I gather things will settle down with break-in time. Things do sound different, although I’m not sure how much better … Gonna let it roll through the weekend and see how it goes next week, do some A/B. Alex was great to talk with so was encouraged by the level of customer engagement provided. He is very confident in the product.

Spoke to a well known and popular manufacturer, including PS Audio customers, last week. Told me about a new ethernet improvement product about to be launched. Can’t say anything, but may be this side of the New Year or very early in 2021.

I had a thought, didn’t write it down, now it’s gone.

I’ve had the opportunity to hear my EtherRegen in a small system I put together based on a Hegel H-190 and LSA 10 statement speakers. Same great results. The small system before the ER was nice but a bit edgy. With the well broken in ER in the system, music makes so more sense.
