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?

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.

We are just exchanging experiences and information sns :)

Look what I found. It is sure interesting info worth investigating.

Check this:

"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."

@djones51 This is true. A reclocking USB device doesn't alter the speed at witch the DAC asynchronously retrieves USB data packets. Additionally, USB reclockers claim to only repacket the data without altering it. So how can one explain all the positive reviews on Audiogon and the net about the Phoenix and other USB reclockers?

Either it is all lies and smoke or there is something in the USB communication mechanism that is not common knowledge yet. I wasn't able to find an answer to this question. I only read review after review of how good the results of using a USB reclocker are.

If you find a single negative review about the Phoenix please share it.
