UpTone Audio EtherREGEN Switch Review

Astralgen

That's what I'm going to make.

I can't tell but that CPU cooler doesn't look as if it was installed with special audiophile approved thermal paste. It's probably caused his soundstage to collapse.

Regardless of paste, unless whatever is getting is hot is thermally bonded to the case, that heat sink is going to be of very little use. It will obviously bring the temperature of the case close to the ambient, but whatever is inside will still be almost as hot.

I think this heatsink add-on needs to be looked upon through a therapeutic lens rather than any kind of technical efficiency.

I'm glad I had the common sense to check other people's opinions on the ER before I went ahead with the purchase. Common sense actually works!

And remember...

I tried the magic switch on my descent stereo setup, and it literally broke apart. What a mess

Maybe the downstairs system is the descent system?

Should try the ascent system. Ascend above the bullshit.

Aw man, I had been more than two years BeekHuyzen free. Now I have to start all over again.

He is a master of the baseless assertion, I'll give him that.

Even IF a network switch could minutely affect the sound audibly, there's no way someone of his advanced age could hear it.

Sorry if this is ageist, but it's just a ridiculous claim on its face.

Terrible for Hans, I measured jitter and this device did nothing for that:

Instead of just theorizing, Hans needs to actually use the Audio Precision analyzer and perform this simple test. Once there, he will realize that his hypothesis does not apply here. Nor did we take for granted that it would not apply.

Han's in ya wallet, that's all that matters .

We call it ' confident bullshit ' .

Someone should revoke his licence to shill.

It should honestly be categorized as a medical condition. Just like germaphobes that have a pathological and irrational fear of germs that impact their ability to live a normal life, there's audiophiles that have a pathological and irrational fear of jitter or noise where there is none, that equally impacts their lives (and wallets) in a negative way. It's really quite sad and should someday be recognized by therapists.


I consider something like this setup a cry for help not dissimilar from obsessive hand washing (above a reasonable amount for Covid reasons of course)

Adjacent gives the best results.
