Uptone EtherREGEN

And yet, on the front page it says: "The products you see here deliver immediately audible benefits."

In the beginning of the EtherREGEN description you also get:

"In development for nearly two years, this revolutionary and sophisticated Ethernet switch is capable of producing surprisingly audible sonic improvements in fine music systems."

According to Darko Kingston RAM modules are the worst for Audio playback.

Oof, I almost spilled my water.

I notice that Uptone and its staff are very, very careful not to say anything like "the EtherRegen improves the sound quality of digital music"
They just say things like "unmatched level of Ethernet performance" to stay within the strict advertising laws in the UK and EEC (I don't know about the US) All of the comments about sound quality improvements are from the paid 'reviewers' and those who have fallen for the nonsense of a digital switch being able to affect the encoded audio passing through it.

No, they say precisely this on their website.

this revolutionary and sophisticated Ethernet switch is capable of producing surprisingly audible sonic improvements in fine music systems.

Sounds like false/misleading advertising to me.

It does takes some impressive ' social' skills to defraud folks and get thanked for it even when they know their 'fine' hifi system is worse now.

If you read though some of that firmware stuff you can sense people ' spin doctoring' their own thoughts .

Jim of Wigan says..,

" It's worse for me but that just proves it makes a difference and I'm sure some will like it, maybe the firmware needs to be burnt in?? I'm keeping mine to see if it improves"

No one here has these skills , we are all inferior in this regard. Hell some of us are so rubbish socially we can't even hide our disdain.

I would prefer to see
"this revolutionary and sophisticated Ethernet switch makes audible sonic improvements in fine music systems"

 

[Killingbeans]

Nahh, the fact that he finds it surprising is the only honest part of that sentence IMO.

So apparently the EtherRegen is like "going from a copper power cable to a silver one".

Hmmmmmmkay, Uh-huh.

You know what, I actually believe that.

It is exactly like going from a copper power cable to a silver one ...... it can't possibly make any difference

Speaking of cables, there's finally one that's perfect for EtherREGEN!

At only €230.00 for 1m length, I could rewire my entire house!

How cheap !

I prefer these

The big bonus is that you get 'free' burn-in to give "improved sound staging, increased detail and overall more musical presentation".

Did that guy just say "maybe the firmware needs to be burnt in" ? ? ? ?

A more nuanced interpretation. If the firmware causes a difference in sound, then the signal coming out of the device is now of different quality. All the hardware components have to bend a new way to the new quality of signal coming out of it. Makes perfect sense. Did I just type that it makes perfect sense? Oh my! But it does if you have a certain amount of sophistication combined with a certain lack of knowledge.

A polite suggestion to the wife , it's better for everyone if she throws your Shit out on the front lawn BEFORE she sets it on fire .
