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?

UltraRendu does have two Femto clocks,one for network, other for usb, also does usb rendering. So, in fact its network and usb device. Sonore in different league vs prior SOTM SMS 200 Neo.

 

At this point I'm mostly in jjss49 camp as far as dedicated usb decrapifiers, reclockers. A server that optimally renders usb should negate the need for such a device. Those that don't can use audiophile switch with quality clock, connect to streamer that does quality rendering, finally dac which should have quality usb board. Quality rendering means good noise filtering and clocking, why add another device, redundant with quality internal clocking.

we are pushing on a rope... but advice given here is worth what people have paid for it

now, audiobacon... maybe more valuable...🤣

ok i'll stop, went on a bike ride this morning, lil amped up...

"A server that optimally renders usb should negate the need for such a device."

- It should, but does it do that in reality? What I read on Audiogon reviews or on the net negates this claim. Again I am not questioning the usefulness of the Phoenix, USB reclocking or DDC.

I am yet to find a negative review of the Phoenix. If you know of one please share it.

Kindly, I would like to ask people who have experience (or info with links) of the Phoenix in comparison with other USB reclockers (if any) to contribute in this discussion.
