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?

You didn’t provide any references, you never do. That in addition to the above I wrote. I am done listening to you.

@tjag  Wow, you are one confused person!  

 

Many, many dacs have optimized usb inputs, look for XMOS, Amanero or proprietary schemes, not hard to do and doesn't cost a fortune.

 

I stated many nice streamers out there, preferable to usb decrapifiers, reclockers since they provide these services plus superior rendering to that in most servers. I'm not saying get audiophile server, only that streamer will provide superior rendering vs the server.

 

You really have a problem with reading comprehension. I could provide a wide range of streamers, servers, dacs that do all of the above very nicely, and doesn't need to cost a fortune. My own streaming setup would be considered relatively cheap or expensive depending on what its being compared to.

 

I've had a single and constant criticism in posting on streaming. That being server rendering is far from optimized in most servers. You don't need to take it from me, read experiences of other experienced streamers, many over at audiophilestyle forum.

 

As for interactions with you, I"m done, you need confirmation for your biases, won't get it from me.


Many (if not most) modern high-end streamers, DACs etc. use the xCORE200 32-bit USB input processor designed by XMOS which has up to a 100 MHz sampling rate on the input stream.  So for example if you are imputing a 96kHz stream that equates to an oversampling rate of greater than 1000X, giving the system plenty of time to decide if it's a one or zero before it goes onto the I2S Bus. This is the modern approach we recommend.

you're being kind

had a sense this person isn't to be taken seriously, certainly proven out with more blabbering in successive posts
