USB Regen from UpTone

[ogs]

I'd like to draw your attention to this new active device for the USB link. I am using one on the input of my 250. The result is quite remarkable. My current playback chain is JRiver MC 20.x DLNA server with DSP enabled for room correction on Windows 7, JPLAYstreamer/JPLAY on Server 2012R2 (on an Intel NUC), kernel streaming, USB to the Regen on the 250 input.
JPLAY6 is very good. The Open Home JPLAYstreamer is a brilliant idea. With the Regen the sound quality becomes superb. Also recordings with 'less than stellar sound' is improved. I have not tried any of the esoteric devices like Melco or Totaldac. I believe the Regen does much of the stuff these products do. I hope Guillaume or Rufus get a chance to try a Regen and report back on what they hear.
The Regen does not eliminate the need for good USB cables. I've seen comments from owners of the Totaldac D1 which say the Regen further improves the already excellent D1 cable.
Please look at these threads at computeraudiophile for more information:

and of course the UpTone web site:

There is a lot of enthusiasm involved here.

I am not associated with UpTone in any way. I purchased the Regen for USD175 plus postage and was lucky to be among the first 100 with delivery in April. Next production batch seems to be June so there will be some waiting for those that order now. It is certainly worth the wait!
