I'm a regular reader of Mark Waldrep's blog.  Here is his take on the Regen:

Makes interesting reading!

Interesting indeed! Thanks for the link Axel
One good thing to say about Waldrep; he is honest. Other than that it's pure BS. Embarrassing for him and his studio that he can not hear a difference. Or maybe his equipment is 'perfect' so the Regen does not make a difference? Or the A/B box he uses masks any differences there might be..

I think if you read the report correctly then they tested the a/b box without the Regen in circuit first to check whether there was any perceived difference between the 2 circuits and after finding none only then connected the Regen in circuit. If the difference the regen makes can be masked by a switch then it isn't exactly startling is it.

I am not sure why the people who purvey highly expensive answers to the terrible effects that USB and Network systems cause to the very low bitrate of an Audio signal are unable to sell the same equipment to people sending gigabytes of data to aid with the terrible losses and errors that they must also be getting.
