RMAF 2019 Show Report Sneak Peek!

Innuos Launches PhoenixUSB Reclocker

  Innuos' PhoenixUSB Reclocker ($3149) takes the USB signal from any source and completely regenerate it to an extremely high-precision signal 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 their experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the Statement. A 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.

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.

The PhoenixUSB’s world premier will be at RMAF in Suite 3142 where Innuos will partner with renowned local Colorado brands YG, Ayre and Boulder for a top of the class system. Cables and Power Conditioner will be provided by Audioquest. Visitors will be able to experience the upgrade in sound quality the PhoenixUSB can bring to a source component through A/B demos done by the Innuos team.
