Know before you buy
The PhoenixUSB acts as a signal cleaner by regenerating and re-clocking the USB data stream. It strips away jitter and electrical noise before the signal reaches your DAC, resulting in a more precise and stable data transmission.
Yes, the PhoenixUSB is compatible with any USB-based audio source, including streamers, servers, and PCs running Windows, macOS, or Linux. While it is designed to match the aesthetic and performance of Innuos hardware, it functions as a universal USB reclocker.
An OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) is a high-precision clock that maintains extreme stability regardless of temperature fluctuations. By running at 24 MHz, it ensures the timing of your digital data is incredibly accurate, which directly translates to better imaging and clarity in your music.
The device uses two independent linear power supplies and avoids switching regulators, which are common sources of electrical noise. By providing clean, stable power to the USB chip and clock, it prevents interference from polluting the delicate audio signal.
Yes, the PhoenixUSB features a chassis design specifically engineered to stack with the Innuos Zen Mini. This allows for a compact footprint while maintaining a clean, integrated look in your audio rack.
The PhoenixUSB is generally plug-and-play for most modern operating systems. However, the included driver software ensures optimal compatibility and performance when connecting to specific computer-based audio setups.
