Completely Regenerates the USB Signal for Best DAC Performance
The Innuos PhoenixUSB Reclocker takes the USB signal from any source and completely regenerates it to an extremely high-precision signal to feed into your DAC, allowing it to perform at its best.
The PhoenixUSB offers in one unit the equivalent of three separate components: A USB regenerator, a linear power supply, and an external master clock with its own linear power supply. Innuos applied three main design approaches learning from its experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the Statement.
Award-Winning Performance
The PhoenixUSB received two awards from the-ear.net. It won Best of 2020 along with Editor's Choice honors. "The PhoenixUSB delivers the best sound I’ve heard with a USB connection to date… It had me listening late into the night on numerous occasions, contrasting performances of Arvo Pärt’s Fratres for instance," reports Jason Kennedy. "In terms of what it does for digital sound quality it is a very impressive upgrade, so the asking price seems entirely fair."
It also nabbed a top rating of Five Hearts from Hi-FI Pig magazine. "Despite my initial skepticism at trying what could be viewed as a 'tweak' at a pretty steep price point, I am sold," observes Alan McIntosh. "The sonic contrasts are more apparent and more substantial than I sometimes get going DAC to DAC – the gain in bass heft and density, the widening of image, and that sharpening of focus and heightened energy at the top end make this a must-have in my system."
It also scored a Victor Award from hifiknights.com, which reports, "This bling-free box is for enthusiasts willing to look beyond its externally minimalist black dress, and already well aware of what USB sorters are capable of. Today’s supported my setup instead of stealing its thunder as expected, but did so effectively enough to change the way how music was presented as a whole. This particularly meaningful and unexpected action is the main reason why Innuos PhoenixUSB became the new king of the USB hill in my roster."
"More of a Necessity Than an Accessory"
"This component is more of a necessity than an accessory. This is the case even for casual listening. The primary reason is due to how it materializes the music. Instead of pushing everything up against the glass. It articulates sections of music with individualistic clarity. And doing so without sacrificing detail or warmth. I always feel the music is more grounded and deep yet well extended and airy. There’s simply more openness and shape to the music," reports Jay Luong, audiobacon.net, September 8, 2020.
"The Phoenix isn’t an everyman hi-fi product. It’s more of a righteous demonstration of what’s possible from outboard USB correction," notes John Darko, darko.audio, May 29, 2020. "If you’re already committed to a network streamer and don’t wish to make the jump to one of Innuos’ ZEN devices, the Phoenix advances sound quality to put our digital front ends much closer to where we wish them to be than where they once were. Bravo."
No Noisy Switching Regulators
The USB chip regenerating the signal contains no switching regulators. All three independent voltages to the chip originate from an independent linear power supply with further regulation provided by three sets of LT3045 regulators.
3ppb OCXO Clock Running Directly at 24MHz
PhoenixUSB relies on a 3ppb OCXO clock running directly at 24MHz and connected via a board track just a couple of inches away from the USB chip. Therefore, no precision is lost within cables and connectors, as is the case when using an external master 10MHz clock with an additional 24MHz clock generator.
Two Independent Power Supplies
Two independent Statement-level linear power supplies are onboard the PhoenixUSB. One is dedicated to the OCXO clock and the other is used for powering the USB chip/5V USB line.
"It's the Real Deal"
"The Innuos PhoenixUSB raises your USB audio signal – from wherever it came and wherever it’s going – out of the ashes of noise and imprecision," raves Alan Sircom, hi-fi+ magazine, October 21, 2020.
"You might not think you need it; you might even think you’ve already nailed these problems with a collection of USB clocks and isolators… guess again. Do the 10 second test and discover the PhoenixUSB is the real deal."
