Innuos - New Re-Clocker

Djones I believe it is the Matrix X-Spdif 2 ,I’m borrowing it ,  his email reads Matrix Audio 2 with I2s out .
Though I fully believe the Matrix Audio will be severely disadvantaged wth comparisons to the AudioByte and Innuos I’m just curious about its performance along with the owner of the Matrix, a computer audio guy .

Hydra Z by Audiobyte is well known brand in Europe. Very high quality and value driven products for budget conscious audiophiles. The man behind the company is an engineer named Nicolae Jitariu who was also involved in the development of DAC modules for MSB. His reference line consist of Rockna DAC’s retailing for $16K in US through a Canadian distributor.

PS: I used to own Rockna Signature Balanced DAC....one of the finest R2R DAC I had the pleasure to audition in my system.

Just a quick update, as I have a PhoenixUSB in my house for three days now:

Bottom line: this thing works. And Nuno is right, the improvement is not subtle. Whoever is staying in the sidelines, should take the plunge. I am pretty sure people will love it, once becomes widely available, as currently only dealer demos are available with very few exceptions.

And by the way, the whole “every modern DAC should be able to remove noise” thing.... good luck with that. My DAC is no slouch, and more than “a decent modern DAC”. It’s a MSB Discrete DAC with dual Discrete power supplies, and the ProISL / Pro USB module combo (optical isolation) I am linking below:

I am using ZENith MK3 as a Roon Core and Endpoint 

@thyname  That's wonderful! Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing. I've got a demo set up for early March.
