Yes, if you order now delivery is August. I was told my Regen will ship this week but so far nothing

Does he do 'reviews'? I think we're still waiting for a fmak power supply review since last year, a 250-Watt ATX linear power supply. And more recently an HDPlex linear power supply, the same one he harassed Mercman for buying earlier.
Don't worry, Mercman will do a REGEN review and fmak will be quick to criticize. I have one on order too but a couple inmates have already predicted that I won't hear a difference. ;-)
Maybe you need these...
And one of these to reduce RFI.
A lot of people who have some really good systems have said the Regen improves the sound. We shall see
Alan
Just about everyone...
For real, or is it expectation bias and group think? You spend $175 on a tweak so it had best work! ;-)
My Regan just arrived. Early listening to 3 albums indicate a definite increase in overall resolution. $175 today is pocket change for any audio equipment. My bias was the opposite. I felt my digital chain was so good it couldn't improve. It has. In a couple of weeks I will post a review
Alan
What is your source for your digital chain, and which DACs did you try it with? I see a few DACs in your profile.
How did the REGEN improve the overall sound, and did it do equally well with all of your DACs? Thx.
I ordered mine on June 22. Still waiting.
MacBook pro running Yosemite
Litespeed 10g usb cable
Uptone Regen
Metrum Hex Dac
This is the only setup I have tried
I want to spend a couple of weeks listening before I post a review
Initially in streaming Tidal there is increased clarity across the whole frequency spectrum. I have a couple of other dacs but the Metrum is what I use in my main system. I do have to update my equipment list
Alan
It is really more than just a tweak, not really the right term for the product IMO. Everybody is not hallucinating, too many smart people out here. I will have one soon. The concept is tried and true. I have had the same experience with the PPA USB cards. Give it a try keep an open mind.

Equally valid, "I spent $175 on it but, with my luck . . . ".
Ditto the fact that many here have learned to (how to, even) trust their ears rather than the prejudices of others and to take time to evaluate perceptions rather than be swayed either way by group-thinkies.

The issues really is whether those who have convinced themselves thru listening to very expensive gadgets, then try their best to influence others on the 'right' way forward. Must have MACs, usb dacs, and software are just examples.
We have had a lot of examples here wrt software and hardware, running from a thousand to tens of thousand of dollars.
I try to keep my systems straightforward along a path that I regard as 'rational' and science based, whilst using my ears.
Just curious but can you tell us if Macs suffer from hf aggression and insufficient 'Yang'? If so, will a super short shielded USB cable solve this problem?

A fanned power supply and croc clips should do it.

I'm listening to a dsd128 Cat Stevens made from the analog master I know this is a bit tame for your taste, but it sounds very nice.
"Ditto the fact that many here have learned to (how to, even) trust their ears rather than the prejudices of others and to take time to evaluate perceptions rather than be swayed either way by group-thinkies."
Yes, Yes, Yes!
Many of the posts in CA have nothing to do with sound quality. The whole thread seems to have been devoted to selling.
''And how about buying a new yellow casing from me !''
So if everyone says it's an improvement then it must be so. Maybe it reduces hf aggression and makes the SQ become a little more 'Yang' ;-)Lets just say I approach these bolt-on tweaks with a bit of healthy skepticism rather than cheer in agreement with everyone.
Like I said, I have a REGEN on order and I'll form my own conclusions.... if it ever gets here.
