Seems to work OK, though I had to re-pair the Apple remote. -

Cheers Middy - I might have to try a DC blocker. I do get a little hum on the Airlink. I've got a 2kvA model which I switch in an out for various duties, though not using at the moment. -

Thanks Middy. I'm taking a punt here - is your balanced PSU an Airlink? I have one of these and realised it could work well with the Mytek. I'm very interested in the DC offset filter though... i've had trouble finding cheap versions of these. -

Couple of questions - The upsampling to DSD256 that's been mentioned in a future firmware update - this is onboard upsampling, right? This sounds like a very interesting development and suggests there must be quite a bit of untapped processing power on the Brooklyn. Any idea when this could be available? '2017' seems to be the only clue so far. Also, it's been asked before but I can't see an answer - is the volume remote controllable in analog (attenuation) mode? Thanks! -
UpTone Audio USB Regen Listening Impressions
Rufus McDufus replied to jtwrace's topic in UpTone Audio (Sponsored)
Anyone had the opportunity to try the Regen with a Melco N1A or N1Z? I have an N1A into a Devialet 200 and I'm looking for a cost-effective upgrade to my Chord Silver Plus USB cable. The Regen gives the intriguing possibility of giving a decent improvement of a 'budget' cable as opposed to splashing out on a more expensive one. My fear with the Regen is that the Melco is already optimised for clocking/jitter so the benefits may not be so significant. I guess the lower impedance/distance of the Regen to the DAC is going to be positive though. If a USB data stream is already pretty good jitter/clocking-wise will the Regen improve it over and above a poorer quality stream, or is it (as I'm assuming) going to regenerate the stream regardless of the quality of the input?
