UpTone Audio - USB Regen

Posted by: dayjay on 21 September 2015

After reading many good things about it on various forums I've just placed an order with UpTone Audio for a USB Regen to sit between my Mac Mini and my Hugo.  I don't often buy blind but the cost was cheap enough, at only 230 dollars including insured postage, to take the risk and, at that price, if it can improve on what I currently get from the Mac and Audirvana into my Hugo, which is excellent, then it's well worth the price.  It won't ship now until October but if anyone is interested I'll post my findings once it arrives.

I'm using the Regen with a Hynes LPS.  Its definitely a step-up from the standard SMPS wallwart.   No harshness here

It seems to me that the folks at Uptone Audio had the Supra USB cable hooked up to their current USB Regen at some point during the unit's development & testing. I have to say they do make a nice match!

The setup above was HP Elitebook>Supra>Regen>HD USB Chord Hugo. When I try desktop PC>Supra>Regen>HD USB Chord Hugo, the tone is nice but the music does not hold my interest as well. In the latter setup the Belkin Gold works better for me!
