RE: " USB REGEN " by UpTone Audio ... any opinions ?

Good luck. Ethernet is as bad, or worse. It has problems a little different from USB,the principle is the same.

High speed, serialised Data.

In theory, the best is a "dumb" SD Card reader that synchronously reads the data and directly writes to a DAC. But given SD Cards now come with computers on board that remap data, even that route becomes problematic.

That said, USB done to a basically decent level knocks the stuffing out of anything standard SPDIF ever managed.

What it does not do, provide a route for data that is completely impervious to "tweaks" or bad design,or both together.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
