Does anyone have any experience with the UpTone EtherREGEN? I'd be particularly interested in knowing whether it improves the sound with XXHE in Unattended mode...

Mani.

Mani, I think I read somewhere that Peter has one.  Might have been of AS ...not sure.  The man himself of course can confirm or deny.

Gentlemen & lady, let us rejoice in the fact that our hobby puts us in an ideal position to self isolate. There are those that have to watch TV repeats endlessly! Stiff upper lip mankind...see you on the other side!

Hi Mani,

In this more or less hectic times (for some very hectic) - I have one. But I am sorry to say that it does not work out for me. N.b.: I never liked to say it, but since you ask ...

Oddly, from there I learned how enormously the ET^2 matters. So indeed (Anthony will know I suppose) I tried it in combination with the ET^2 (I never had en ET^2 myself) - I even had a second one (one for input, one for output), but that only emphasized the "baddy" instead of improved it. And then I took out the EtherRegen and ...
And really, a new world opened. Btw, I did not tell that either (seemed fair to me).

Additionally, the EtherRegen has a 100Mbit throughput and for our usage this really annoys (it is too slow at loading albums, relative to the 1000Mbit everybody will have these days for LAN connections).

I did not follow the general consensus on the EtherRegen, but keep in mind that our usage will be different from what others do, because for us it actually can only matter on the "live" connection for RDC. That really is all. But you hear it right through that, and not by a small bit. IOW (also) go figure how just that electrical connection (with its noise signatures ?) works out devastatingly.

HTH,
Peter

PS: I can't imagine that I didn't look in here for over 10 days, and missed two other posts as well (from Anthony and from Jack). But there always has been some oddness in the Chatter board and the "new" notification not working out. For some people this doesn't come across by standard.

I now got triggered by the other new topic on this board from Colin (from March 19, and that 3-4 days of me not being here seems correct).

I did not know this Peter, but interesting to know.  If only I had time to experiment...

Hi Peter, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Yes, it blows my mind that the ethernet connection still affects the sound, even when it's just being used for RDC.

Cheers,
Mani.

Anthony, I'm assuming the outbreak must be keeping you busy in some way? What's taking up your time?

Cheers,
Mani.

Hi Mani,

Oh, yes, I'm just as busy as ever, doing the same stuff as usual, just with social distancing and a lot of hand-washing inolved.  My business is in agriculture and unless everyone is able to stop eating food production will need to roll on.  Luckily I already work from home and when in the field do not need help to do what I do, and I have several months of design work in the office to catch up on if my travel is stopped.

I remember talking with Peter several years ago about the remoteness of Australia once you get away from the coast.  Where quite a bit of my work is in a local goverment (shire) that is about the same size as the entire Netherlands...but with a population of 5,000, not 18,000,000.  Pretty easy to isolate out there if people take things seriously, which from what I have seen they mostly are.

Saying that, the virus does not seem as advanced here as in the UK and elsewhere, and my kids are both still at school although they do now have online learning/lessons available to them.

Not the right way to think about it, but I would love a couple of weeks to be able to concentrate on my audio projects...

How about you Mani?  I take it you are unable to work. 

Anthony
