PhoenixUSB
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
