Not huge, but most definitely and immediately noticeable, and a very worthwhile upgrade!
My digital front end has really come together with this final upgrade. I now have the Sonore Ultrarendu powered by the Uptone Audio LPS 1.2, the Uptone Audio EtherRegen also powered by the LPS 1.2, Shunyata Sigma USB from Ultrarendu to Yggdrasil DAC, and Shunyata Sigma Ethernet cables from wall to EtherRegen and from EtherRegen to Ultrarendu. All of these various pieces have made a definite and cumulative improvement, and I'm super happy with how things sound!  |
I don't have a Unison upgrade yet, as that will involve waiting "in queue" for some time, and then more waiting some weeks for them to install the upgrade at Schiit as I have a Gumby, but the benefits you describe for the other components in your digital front-end (all of which I also have with the exception of a SOtM network bridge instead of an UltraRendu) are 100% concordant with my findings and experiences. The benefits the ER and the Shunyata Sigma Ethers bring are not subtle, either.
