Innuos - New Re-Clocker

Oh and my DAC is quite nice. It's a $3500 module. I have a Vinnie Rossi L2iSE with the L2 DAC. The Re-Clocker does improve the sound dramatically with the Mini III going into the L2 DAC. Not sure why or how but I do not care as all I care about is the outcome. ; )

Here is my two cents;
The InnuOs Phoenix made my AQ DragonFly Cobalt sound many times more expensive. was shocked at the sound pouring out of my headphones. 
Home System:
DAC: Chord TT2; 
Server: Aurender N10;
Integrated Amp: Pass Labs int 250
Speakers: Dynaudio Confidence 30
Result:
I struggled to hear any difference let alone improvement.

I also have on deck my InnuOs Zen mkiii server and the Pheonix improved that slightly; what I heard was a jump in front to back depth and a sort of ease in the presentation, like increased liquidity is best way I can describe it; it was subtle though; I think my gear is pretty resolving and I can hear cable changes pretty easily; 


I think the efficacy of the Pheonix will be highly dependent on Dac input USB circuitry, and source USB port (obviously eh?)

I was shocked at how much a lowly dragonfly cobalt could sound; it’s as if I heard the pure performance of the tiny DAC chip itself for the first time;

Im bummed that USB implementation in any dac is still a thing that is subject to much variation and can make or break a dac; 

I think Chord has a robust internal reclocking and top class jitter rejection strategy that attenuated the otherwise obvious improvement I heard with the lesser DAC.
As always, ymmv

Yep, 

"From Vinnie Rossi on the L2 DAC module.

On-board FPGA buffer and femto-reclocking circuitry negates effects of jitter. Isolated input stages."

That is correct. Doesn't matter. This changes the sound and it's not a small difference. Again, I do not care how or why it's doing what it is doing, I just know what it is doing. I have a very resolving system and the differences are literally night and day here. 

So however it is working or whatever it is doing, does change the sound for the better. It's not even up for debate to those who heard it here and I would not have spent money on it if it did not do these things. 

So while I agree that it should not be doing anything, it does. ; ) 

@dpac996 Can you share the cables you are using (including your USB and headphone cables and headphones) since you’ve shared your components? Thanks. - David.
