I recently purchased a UpTone Regn USB and inserted it between my Mac Mini and Hegel H160. The result was soo much jitter the music was “unlistenable”. Looks like Roon can only see the UpTone device and not the Hegel anymore.
Hi @Robin ----- Thank you for the report and the feedback. Both are appreciated! We typically handle our support issues out on the public forum so that any information that may be helpful to other users is readily available. Would you mind if I set this PM as public thread and we can continue troubleshooting from there? Let me know
Hi @Robin ---- Thank you for the quick response! To better understand what may be going on here, I’d like to ask you for the following information. Please see below.
Can you please provide a brief but accurate description of your setup as seen here.
Can you verify that before the introduction of the UpTone Regen USB, the Hegel H160 was being recognized by Roon correctly?
Outside of Roon, say while using another application or media player, does this configuration function as it should?
I am unable to get Roon to recognize the UpTone Regen
Set Up

Issue
Roon can see Hegel fine when going directly from Mac Mini USB port to Hegel
Roon cannot see either Hegel or Regen when Regen is introduced.
Tried switching out the cables to use Regen’s - no difference
Hi @Robin ----- Thank you for the follow up and the feedback. Both are appreciated! Can you please verify/provide the following:
When using this configuration (MacMini - > USB - > UpToneRegen - > USB - > Hegel) are you able to get a successful playback from iTunes or another media player such as quicktime? Are you ONLY noticing this with Roon?
Can you please provide screenshots of your audio zone settings.
