Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB?

I read a lot about the Innuos Phoenix USB and everyone sings its praises even owners of expensive gear. The problem is that it is expensive.

There are other reclockers like iPurifier3, the Ideon Audio USB Re-clocker 3R, or the SOtM tX-USBultra USB Audio Reclocker. In forums the feedback is that the Phoenix beats a lot of the reclockers.

Does anyone have experience with a USB reclocker that does as good job as the Phoenix USB?

I should add, most streamers are going to require quality outboard lps for best sound quality, certainly brings cost up. Still, even with this, I believe good value vs. Phoenix or any dedicated usb only device.

 

Not saying Phoenix not good for what it does, based on  Innuos description and reviews I believe it does what it does well.

It would be interesting if someone who owns a Phoenix shares his experience. I will eventually list links of reviewers who mentioned their gear and some were expensive.

"Then this weekend I plugged it between a Sonore UltraRendu and my Devialet Expert 1000 Pro. The impact in a two channel system was even more dramatic—huge step up in clarity/width/depth of the sound stage, esp. with 192/24 FLACs. I’ve never experienced such immersive recreation of recorded music. Truly stunning."
