Main Features
Design is focused on 4 areas: Noise, Clock, Power and Vibration.
Minimize Network Switch Noise
- Simpler 100mbps network switch chip results in lower operating noise floor compared to Gigabit
- Network switch chip with no internal switching regulators. All 3 independent voltages supplied by internal Statement-grade linear power supply with independent ultra-low noise regulation.
- Massive individual Network Isolation Transformers to further isolate from noise coming from router or connected devices
- Just the right amount of Individually shielded, high quality ethernet ports soldered directly to the board with no ethernet activity lights as blinking leds introduce considerable electrical noise.
- EMI absorption at the right places so that interference produced can be captured before influencing other components.
Increase Clocking Precision and Stability
Using the same 3ppb 25MHz OCXO oscillator as used in the Statement, individually powered by its own linear power supply and connected directly to the network switch chip, avoiding precision losses from using external master clocks.
Provide Pristine Power to the Components
Two independent STATEMENT-grade linear power supplies with Mundorf Caps to power individually the OCXO clock and the mainboard, keeping the power path short with less opportunity for EMI contamination.
Minimize Vibration on Components
Vibration was managed at 3 levels: Anti-Vibration feet tuned to the resonant frequency of the chassis, top cover treatment to convert vibration captured from sound waves into small amounts of heat and sturdy RJ45 ports with silicone connection to the chassis.

Reviews
Innuos PhoenixNET
``Details define its excellent sound quality``
Leo Yeh, My-Hiend
Innuos PhoenixNET
``I was utterly surprised by how much additional performance this still compact modestly dressed box managed to squeeze from my own rig, just as its USB sibling more than two years ago.``
Dawid Grzyb, HiFi Knights
Innuos PhoenixNet network switch
``It feels like a critical element, the missing link between the recording and the listening experience.``
Jason Kennedy, Hi Fi +
PhoenixNET: Revolutionizing Digital Music
``The PhoenixNET exceeds the typical features of an audiophile Ethernet switch and stands as a remarkable masterpiece of design and engineering. Innuos has spared no expense in crafting a device that is both aesthetically and sonically pleasing.``
Jay Luong, Audio Bacon
The Innuos PhoenixNET as a reference
``Let's face it: we got a slap in the face that I personally still can't get over. The improvement on the system was of the same degree as for a change of DAC. Everything takes on an incarnation and an incredible relief but never in a forced way, one knows from the first seconds of listening that one finally hears the dematerialized music as one had always hoped to hear it.``
David Cayuela, Vinyle & Audio (French)
Innuos PhoenixNET
``The fact that switches in the file path improve the quality of listening to music has probably been the truest truth for each of us for several years. It is also true that the increase in quality depends on their technical advancement. However, as large as during the test, increase in music quality, similar to me, probably none of you expects. This is not a minor correction, but a dramatic increase in the bar for the competition. Therefore, if you are playing music streaming and want to jump away from the Switch peloton for a long time, there is no other option than to marry our hero. In this case, I don't even guess, but I guarantee that you will pick up your jaws from the floor.``
Marcin Olszewski, Sound Rebels
Audiophile LAN-Party
``The Innuos PhoenixNET is a very high-quality, audiophile network switch that can be a useful building block for further sound progress in equally high-quality systems. It provides a more transparent spatial impression with excellent depth graduation, a more vivid and precise reproduction of voices and instruments, and better resolution across the entire frequency range. With the PhoenixNET, the sound is purer and cleaner and you can experience a proverbial black background.``
Ralph Werner, Fairaudio
INNUOS PHOENIXNET - HIGH END NETZWERK-SWITCH
``The Innuos PhoenixNET leads to a special musicality, whose involving, rousing effect knows how to fully engage the listener and ultimately capture the essence of the enjoyable and emotional listening. If we look at the other camp, we quickly see the analogy. For a good MC system, passionate listeners give just as frankly, the same sum. The PhoenixNET may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for the absolute high-ender, it is the current measure of all things in terms of Ethernet switches.``
Fritz Schwertfeger, Audisseus
Test: Innuos PhoenixNET – High End Netzwerk Switch
``Regardless of whether this is a connected network player and server, a NAS or a Roon Nucleus server or especially network-based active speakers such as the KEF LS50 Wireless II. Connected via Ethernet cable, they all benefit from the capabilities of the PhoenixNET.``
Fritz Schwertfeger, Hi-Fi IFAs
