It accomplishes this by combining a carefully chosen USB hub chip with an ultra low-noise regulator and low-jitter clock. Importantly, it does so with ideal impedance matching—right at the input of your DAC. (https://uptoneaudio.com/products/usb-regen) Pictures:

ello, Up for sale are 3 items: Uptone USB regen - $110 sold Curious USB link (for USB regen) - $75 sold Longdog Audio 12 amp psu for PC - $600 (a little known brand over here in Aus but PSU this was made by the same guy that built my Longdoc dac - check out the reviews that got here to get an idea of his talents) sold In combination, these provide a nice upgrade for any budding PC audio enthusiast at a very realistic price point. Everything has original boxes and was all purchased brand new by me. Only ever been in my system and come from a loving, smoke, children and pet free home. I'm only selling because I've moved higher up the food chain at a considerable cost. If you want the lot we can talk about a lower price, otherwise, these are all priced very fairly. These prices don't include shipping - you can cover that anyway you like. Jeez - that must be a record for me lol!

Item: Regen USB Amber as new in box Location: Brisbane Price: $170 + postage at cost (prepaid 1kg satchel is $8.50) Item Condition: Perfect Reason for selling: Selling for a mate - was using with a high quality DAC and thought there was not enough benefit to warrant keeping it. I tried it with my Auralic Mini and felt the same. Worked brilliantly with a crappy laptop though so will do wonders on a not so clean system (squeezebox, MAC etc). Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: In original box with USB Male to USB Female adaptor and short USB cable. Original power supply. Pictures: You know what these look like! Manufacturers site Stereophile Review Blurb: The USB REGEN takes the digital audio stream from your computer or other music streaming device, and generates a completely new USB data signal to feed to your DAC. It accomplishes this by combining a carefully chosen USB hub chip with an ultra low-noise regulator and low-jitter clock. Importantly, it does so with ideal impedance matching—right at the input of your DAC. If you are familiar with the variations in sound quality that come from different computer configurations, USB cables, and power supplies (no, "bits are bits" really does not apply when pursuing the audio summit), then you will immediately recognize the often dramatic effect that the REGEN can have on the the connection you feel with the music. Although the REGEN does not eliminate all sound quality differences between USB cables in a high-end system, it significantly reduces those differences. John Swenson has written about how the PHY chips and processors at the input of every USB DAC (even those with galvanic isolation) are sensitive to "packet noise modulation" and ground-plane noise—caused by poor signal integrityand impedance mis-matching. Every USB audio source (computer or streamer) and cable causes this, every DAC is affected by this—and the REGEN is the cure. The USB REGEN's secondary function is that it disconnects the computer's noisy 5 volt bus power coming down the USB cable, and provides clean 5VBUS on its output--for DACs that need it—via a second ultra low-noise regulator. From all the time we have spent listening to the REGEN in our systems we can say that it is exceeding our expectations. Often it sounds like you are listening to a different DAC! Of course the benefit will vary with each computer/DAC system, but we hear positive differences even with very modest systems. The improvement is different than with a power supply or computer optimizations—but perhaps larger. Regardless of whether you are feeding your USB DAC from a from a stock computer, a fully-optimized music server, or a streamer/renderer (Auralic Aries, Bryston, Moon Audio, SOtM sMS-100, etc.), the REGEN has the potential to carry your music system to a new level. I am also going to throw in a battery bank with the Regen. This is a 8 bank plastic battery enclosure with on/off switch and a 5.5mm power lead. It holds 8 AA cells and supplies DC to the Regen in place of the power supply that comes with it. If you use 8 rechargable Lithium Ion batteries then you get 12volts, which is perfect for the Regen. Amp's is fine too. I have been using it with some rechargable AA Lithium Ion cells that I got quite cheap on Ebay. You can also use Life-PO as well but they are more expensive and require a special charger though voltage will be higher which the Regen can accommodate. Life-PO retains it's voltage for longer than Lithium Ion. I have run the Regen off the Lithium Ion battery for several days and it has not needed to be charged which is convenient. So another cheapish option if you want to experiment with running the Regen or any other device with a 5.5mm DC power socket that will accept a range of volts.

Further information: This galvanic isolator and reclocker made a made a massive difference my system. Due to recent system reconfiguration though I no longer require it. Some small marks to the casing, but still works as you would expect. I'm selling without a matching power supply — I recommend powering it with a high quality linear power supply like the UpTone Audio Ultracap LPS-1 for best results. RRP is currently $310USD + $34USD shipping to Australia from Uptone Audio (https://uptoneaudio.com/products/iso-regen?variant=37469467724). I no longer have the original packaging, or the 'USPCB' adapter, but it will be well packed for shipping if needed.

Item: Uptone Audio USB Regen and sBooster Ultra power filter Location: Forestville NSW Price: Regen $160, sBooster Ultra $80 (RRP €80) Item Condition: Used but good Reason for selling: No Longer required Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal Extra Info: This has been a useful device for improving music from a USB source. The only reason for sale is that I've replaced my digital sources with microRendu network device and LPS1 ultracapacitor power supply (at much higher expense...) and the USB reclockers now no longer add a difference to the chain. Boxed and ready to send. Comes with the original Meanwell SMPS power supply (just need Aus IEC plug - I've got heaps if you want one) which is surprisingly good quality. Add the sBooster Ultra for additional power filtering to take it to the next level. I'd prefer to sell both together, but will split if demand for both separately arises. See for more details: https://uptoneaudio.com/products/usb-regen Comes with a short USB cable and the "hard adaptor" USB A-to-B. Note also - I'm listing a W4S Recovery USB Reclocker as well. So pick your favourite! Pictures:
