Main Features
The PhoenixUSB offers in one unit the equivalent of 3 separate components: A USB regenerator, a linear power supply and an external master clock with its own linear power supply.
Innuos applied 3 main design approaches learning from their experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the STATEMENT:
The USB chip regenerating the signal contains no switching regulators. All 3 independent voltages to the chip originate from an independent linear power supply with further regulation provided by 3 sets of LT3045 regulators.
The use of a 3ppb OCXO clock running directly at 24MHz and connected via a board track just a couple of inches away from the USB chip. Therefore, no precision is lost within cables and connectors, as is the case when using an external master 10MHz clock with an additional 24MHz clock generator.
Two independent Statement-level linear power supplies, one dedicated to the OCXO clock and the other used for powering the USB chip/5V USB line.

Reviews
HiFi Pig - Five Hearts Award
“The sonic contrasts are more apparent and more substantial than I sometimes get going DAC to DAC – the gain in bass heft and density, the widening of image, and that sharpening of focus and heightened energy at the top end make this a must-have in my system and having it as a standalone component means I can use it regardless of future changes to DAC or source. It really has changed my opinion of just how much improvements in “secondary” areas of hi-fi can bring to the overall outcome.”
Alan McIntosh, HiFi Pig
Fairaudio – Fairaudio’s Favorite Award 2021
``After weeks of listening, I have come to the realization that the Innous PhoenixUSB Reclocker is transforming “digital sound” into realms of “analog naturalness” - towards a stress-free, more finely drawn and more confident-looking representation.``
Fritz Schwertfeger, Fairaudio
Audio Bacon – Finest Cuts Award
“It becomes clear that this component is more of a necessity than an accessory. This is the case even for casual listening” - Jay Luong, Audio Bacon – Sep. 2020
Audio Bacon awards the PhoenixUSB Reclocker with its “Finest Cuts” Award because, “The result is sound you could feel.”
Jay Luong, Audio Bacon

Jason Kennedy, The Ear
Innuos Phoenix USB reclocker review
``The Phoenix advances sound quality to put our digital front ends much closer to where we wish them to be than where they once were. Bravo.``
John Darko, Darko Audio
Innuos PhoenixUSB Reclocker
``USB reclockers are an important element of a highly optimized digital audio chain. If your budget allows it, get yourself a Phoenix. Its addition in your USB chain will bring a huge grin on your face!``
Austin Pop, Audiophile Style
Innuos PhoenixUSB (Victor Award)
``Innuos PhoenixUSB provides therapy reserved for audio setups well-sorted (…) Not only it did enough to fit in there with no ifs or buts, but also stands tall as the best of its kind I’d heard to date. At this point in time I’m aware of no other USB artillery as potent as this one``
Dawid Grzyb, Hi-Fi Knights
Who has turned the clock?
``The convenient integration and elegant design make the PhoenixUSB a great option for more performance. Innuos has found a solution for typical USB problems that can now be used on any high-quality system.``
Hi-Fi Test
Innuos PhoenixUSB reclocker
``The Innuos PhoenixUSB raises your USB audio signal – from wherever it came and wherever it’s going – out of the ashes of noise and imprecision. You might not think you need it; you might even think you’ve already nailed these problems with a collection of USB clocks and isolators… guess again. Do the 10 second test and discover the PhoenixUSB is the real deal``
Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi +
Digital single-clocker: Everything remains different
``The Innuos PHOENIX is an electronically complex and high-quality USB signal improver. The music gains quality in all aspects through the processing of the signal. What you hear becomes more authentic, small details are easier to understand, the bass appears more contoured and the sound is more relaxed. The change may not be immense when viewed individually, but the broad sum of all effects creates a significant impact. If you have a harmonious system and think about optimization in detail, you should give the Innuos PHOENIX a listen``
Falk Visarius, Hi-Fi IFAs
Innuos PhoenixUSB
``More precise imaging, bigger sound stage, fuller dynamic, natural analogue sound, once used, you can never go back.``
