InnuOS Phoenix USB Reclocker
When building the InnuOS Phoenix USB Reclocker, Innuos applied 3 main design approaches learning from their experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the STATEMENT. The USB chip regenerating the signal contains no switching regulators. All 3 independent voltages to the chip originate from an independent linear power supply with further regulation provided by 3 sets of LT3045 regulators.
The use of 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 Statement-level linear power supplies, one dedicated to the OCXO clock and the other used for powering the USB chip/5V USB line.
Reviews
Innuos Phoenix USB reclocker review
“Scary Monsters. And super creeps. David Bowie. And Robert Fripp. Listen intently to the album on a decent hi-fi system and you’ll not miss the King Crimson founder’s “Applied Frippertronics”: guitar sounds routed through a twin-tape-machine delay that tears at the very fabric of songs like “Fashion”, “It’s No Game Pt. 1“ and “Teenage Wildlife”. Fripp optimises Bowie.” Read more…
Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker Review
“The Innuos Phoenix USB reclocker is here. Avid computer audiophiles are well aware of the sonic gains of having USB conditioning.
If you’d like an introduction behind using USB reclockers in your digital playback system, check out my review of the SOtM tX-USBultra here. In short, the goal of a USB reclocker is to provide a clean and well-timed signal to the DAC from the server. The improvements are usually in soundstage, detail, solidity, and tonality.” Read more…
Features
The PhoenixUSB offers in one unit the equivalent of 3 separate components: A USB regenerator, a linear power supply and an external master clock with its own linear power supply.
Innuos applied 3 main design approaches learning from their experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the STATEMENT:
- 01. The USB chip regenerating the signal contains no switching regulators. All 3 independent voltages to the chip originate from an independent linear power supply with further regulation provided by 3 sets of LT3045 regulators.
- 02. The use of 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.
- 03. Two independent Statement-level linear power supplies, one dedicated to the OCXO clock and the other used for powering the USB chip/5V USB line.
