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?

tjag

reading reviews only get you so far... there is only one way to know, right?  my various tries with ddc's and usb reclockers have been wastes of time largely... but then again i don't use a noisy sloppy computer to feed my system its digital stream

ymmv obviously

Audiobacon tested with several source.

"Does the server you connect the Phoenix to matter? I tried a custom music server with LPS, a laptop, and of course the Innuos ZENith SE Mk.2. The short answer is “hell yeah.” Even a laptop powered by only a battery won’t sound nearly as good as a dedicated server with a linear power supply. And by “as good” I mean…it’s a pretty large delta."

At the end he bought the Phoenix:

"I wasn’t expecting to purchase this USB reclocker. But the main reason I am is because of its performance with voice recordings. Too many times, a lot of HiFi gear will strip the soul of the performers while polishing everything else"

 

I am not questioning the usefulness of the Phoenix. I am just asking if there is  an equally effective USB reclocker.

well then you should buy one immediately! audiobacon says so it must be superb...🤣

@jjss49 the title of this discussion is "Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB?"

haha ok

but maybe you should ask audiobacon... who else would know better... but oh wait, his answer would be none, as he bought the innuos 

sorry i can't resist playing with you a little... good luck, hope you find your cheaper than innuos phoenix nirvana...
