Does the master clock positively affect all of the ether regen ports or the single “clean” port?
Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB
Recently I was negotiating to buy a USB cable from a fellow Audiogon member @fsmithjack and he offered in addition to the cable to sell me an Uptone Iso Regen USB with an Uptone linear power supply. I felt a little uncomfortable with the conversation as I was just trying to buy a cable, not a bundle with something else that I hadnt even inquired about. We agreed to go our separate ways, no harm no foul right?
I began reading about the product, skeptically, and became more curious. With the return policy Uptone offers, I thought I would check it out and ordered a new Iso Regen Usb and their new companion 1.2 LPS. Holy moly @fsmithjack was right and I should have listened to him. Single biggest upgrade I recall with my digital front end, instantly upon inserting it into my system!
Long story short, I wanted to publicly acknowledge @fsmithjack as the gentleman that he is, he was just trying to enlighten me and I wasn’t ready to believe the radical improvements he said I would experience. This isn’t a review of the product, this is intended to recognize and thank @fsmithjack for his sage advice, even though I was not very trusting, I now recognize he was just trying to share his experience. Thanks @fsmithjack! He has no affiliation with Uptone, just a fellow Audiogoner that makes this community special. Peace.

Hey Guys - it reclocks everything in the EtherRegen. The AFTERDARK OCXO clock requires 12VDC/2A power supply. If you do not own one we sell an excellent 2 rail Linear Power Supply that can power both the EtherRegen and clock for $245 plus shipping. It comes with DC Cables with 2.1 barrel connectors and the clock comes with a great sounding 75Ohm BNC cable to connect to clock to the EtherREGEN. I will share details below for the clock, LPS and thoughts on this new approach. You can message me if you want any further info or check the website as well. https://ctronicmusic.com/ ——————————————————— AFTERDARK.

The Heart of AfterDark. Black Modernize Linear Power Supply The circuit design of LPS is referenced and improved of the well-known Walt Jung Super Reg. The performance is first in the class I must say. Output voltage stays VERY stable with 0.01VDC tolerance despite I'm driving it almost at full load. It only gets a bit warm after a 48hrs of stress test. —————————————————— Mastering the time domain in network-based hi-end audio focusing this tremendous level of concentrated precision and exacting time accuracy has never been done before. Not like this it has not. This approach, with these unique specialty devices (OCXO Clock and EtherREGEN) doing what they do has absolutely changed streaming audio forever. The result is a staggering level of improvement no one ever could have foresaw? A ridiculous amount of improvement you need to hear for yourself to understand. It’s not hyperbole if it’s the truth. This is the definition of the truth. Prepare to have your mind blown! The concept behind mastering the network-based time domain is grounded in solid science, it is measurable and verifiable. Yet it runs contrary to how traditional audio upgrades paths have come forth. The bottom line is this kind of increased sound quality has always cost a lot more money! Much more! Not only is this an incredible upgrade path standing on its own, but it is disproportionately inexpensive. If we based our prices on actual audio improvement our prices would increase 10-fold. The good news our products price for performance are industry bests and we only charge based on the device. This combination of very different, specialty devices has produced a result that has far exceeded what anyone thought possible. Our devices along with those of our friends and colleagues over at Uptown Audio are the best bang for buck components you can buy on the market today bar none! Our Master Clocks and Linear Power Supplies vastly improve upon the excellent Uptone Audio EtherREGEN! You just cannot get this kind of Improvement anywhere else.

These incredible audio devices have exploded onto the US audio scene and recording studios. Offering true, reference level performance at prices formerly unimaginable. The Editors of Stereotimes, The Absolute Sound, and other well-known magazines in Germany, France and Italy have all requested demo units. The secret is out, nothing comes even close to delivering this type of improvement. Plug this master clock into your Uptone Audio EtherREGEN with the included BNC cable and prepare to have your mind blown! We guarantee it!

We believe and the test data shows one of the most commonly under-resourced yet critically important aspects in the audio chain is the network time domain. Mastering the network time domain and how it relates to the overall quality of the musical presentation has not been thoroughly exhausted or solved up until this point. Not until now that is. This combo changes everything! It's impact will change your system like nothing you have ever known before it. |
It’s reclocking the network signal in front of the DAC. It is making the signal sent to the DAC as pristine as possible. Now if your DAC is slaved to incoming signal then yes that would be huge. Even if it is not the improvement is gigantic. I have buyers with very serious system that can’t believe in the level of improvement. Many of the guys are buying upgrades BNC cables that cost more then the clock and EtherRegen combined. BNC cables offer big upgrades. The biggest loss is in the cable. The cable we provide for free sounds great but there is much more improvement to be had with an upgraded cable. Regardless if your DAC is slaved to the incoming signal or reclocks it after the important is nothing less then fantastic. I am emails daily by folks that love it and can’t believe the improvement. |
