Thanks, I will ask Cees if he is offering MODs or if I can get instructions and buy the I2S board.
Cees started Sonnet, now apparently continues with Metrum or both, anyway, great news! He is moving shop expecting to be back online by July 27thI thought one of them goes on to sonnet audio.
we will know when they tell usSo does this mean sonnet and metrum merge?
Ok. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I took a chance and bought the Ether REGEN and thought I would just sell if it didn’t work! I received my unit 8 days ago.and running 7/24 since. I have a Cambridge Audio CXN v2 and was noticing noise in quite passages while streaming from my NAS. I have all file types from mp3, cd rips to hi-res. I also moved down my CA CXC Transport downstairs and the transport sounded much better using same DAC of the streamer. I was pretty disappointed with the Cambridge streamer as I was using my MacBook Pro, Pure Music, ISO REGEN/LPS1.2 and the Chord Mojo in my downstairs system and had to get rid of everything off the floor of the family room. Wife’s orders!Folks, there isn't an engineering reason why EtherRegen could make any difference. Save your moneys for things you really need...

Well the ether REGEN has transformed my streamer! It’s like the REGEN device peeled away a layer of noise. The background is more darker. The nuance of the music is coming through as well as the music flow. Today I compare the transport with the same music on my NAS and there is no comparison. I honestly can’t believe it. If I plug the streamer to the dirty side, I can hear the difference right away. It’s actually a huge difference!
You have to get the Metrum Amber or Pi2AES with I2S Board. Cheapest option is Pi2AES.Could somebody chime in on what is the best way to connect the I2S version of the Metrum Pavane to the Mac? Thanks.
