UpTone Audio USB REGEN

[KritiKal]

KritiKal,  I got mine from B&H Photo is the U.S., and it is still on it's way to Aus ... is that where you got your Corning?

I am just going thru the returns policy on the B&H website,  looks like I can return it.
Still in two minds whether to keep it ... may keep it for the Regen (green) and use the combo on my speaker rig ... then use the Regen (amber) on the HP rig
as that is where I do most of my listening these days. 

Indeed it is. Everywhere else had ridiculous shipping costs to Australia. Near on $100 for a cable. I had a good read of their return terms too and it doesn't seem a big deal to return it, even if it has been used.

Thanks for confirming ... agree, reading the terms it should not be a big deal , if I decide to return it.
 
I have had the Corning on my watch list on a well known auction site for about 6 months ... though the only place that would ship to OZ wanted $USD 70.
I just could not press the buy button if shipping was nearly the price of the goods.

Ordered a REGEN to pair my micro iDSD instead of going for the ifi iusb. Shipping to Sweden and hopefully customs will miss the package so I don't have to pay the extra tax!

I just tapatalked!

Hi everyone
 
Before going on this boat I would like to sort out one and the other.
 
I am looking to improve my audio-pc with a bunch of regulated linear power supplies and different filters for the HDD, fan, CPU etc.
 
I just wonder whether the above would still be necessary if I would place the Regen between my PC and DAC.
 
If the Regen is able to clean up most (or wishfully maybe all) of  the electronical noise coming from a PC, I can as well use a noisy PC?
 
Any experienced users who tried the Regen with as well a noisy-PC as a clean-PC, made the equation between the two, and hopefully found only minor differences in sound quality?
 
Thanks in advance for the countless replies!

How does one find out which batch they're on?

When did you place your order?
 
Last time I looked the website said they were taking orders for the July delivery.  Going from memory, but another forum reported (from the company) that the June shipment sold out sometime in mid May, (I think).

 I just checked the announcement from another forum. It looks like if you ordered before 5/17 you should get it sometime in June. Otherwise it's early July or later.

I placed my order April 23rd.  I'm not sure what order number I am.

I ordered mine on the 25th of May and it is around the 50th order of the second batch. Because you ordered a couple of days before me, I would daresay you are around the 30th-40th of the second batch and will ship around the 8th of June, perhaps before.

I just recieved shipping notification for my Amber.

I just recieved shipping notification for my Amber.

I am sure you will love the Regen when it arrives ... I do, and I have tried so many things to "solve" USB like;
 
Corning USB cable
Olimex USB-ISO
Music Fidelity V-Link
Kimber Kable USB Ag
Kimber Kable USB Cu
iFi iPurifier
iFi Gemini 
iFi Mercury
 
The iFi gear is really good quality ... and if the Regen did not exist I would still have it .... though the REGEN was just such a significant improvement over the rest of the things I have tried.
 
The USB Regen is the only USB item of everything listed above that I have kept. 
 
I am one of the 95 or so early adopters ("Green" Regen) and it has just turned the 10th of June so I have ordered the circuit board upgrade to "Amber" today.
So I will be getting the new & improved version just like everyone else.   Can't wait.

Mine has shipped too. Unfortunately, I'll get mine a little later than most, but I'm estimating arrival by the end of next week. I place orders regularly with a vendor (not audio related) based in CA shipped priority mail and I alqays receive them in 6-8 days. I'm hoping the Regen is no different, but it ultimately depends on where it leaves the US.

Duke40 What was the shipping time on your Regen (as you're in Aus too)?

It was 7 or 8 days I think ... actually it was the quickest shipping from USA to OZ that I have ever encountered.
 
I actually placed an order with another audio company and they took 9 days .... just to post it!    Let alone for it to get to OZ.
 
Anyway, I found the shipping time from UpTone Audio to be excellent.  Hope that helps.

Indeed it does. I'm not sure who picked up the slack (USPS or Aus Post), but Priority Mail has more or less halved in postage time from USA to Aus-IME-since around the start of this year.

I'm in Aus too

Duke40: have you experimented much with different cables upstream to the regen?
