Bluesound node + INNUOS PHOENIX USB? 


I have a Michi X3 with a Bluesound 2i and have been looking at a streamer update for a while.  In the narrow selection are : 

Auralic Aries g2.1 or 
Innuos Pulse (no remote control, not yet available?) 

From the features I'm excited about Bluesound, do I get the same quality as the above products with a new Bluesound + a USB Reclocker? 

Glad to hear your opinion, thanks.

Thank you for your very valuable feedback!

Interesting that no one has tried it yet. According to the product description of the reclockers, the digital signal is completely rebuilt and also the 5V power routing is disposed of and recreated.

From my technical understanding, the problem with cheaper streamers is that there is too much noise and the timing is not accurate - but the data is ultimately there.

High quality DAC’s solve this problem themselves. I had the opportunity to test a Grimm MU1 at home with my Michi X3 DAC - that brings quite a bit of clarity and dynamics (price out of range).

Thank you!

PS. Upgrade with Sbooster PSU is already implemented and also brings quite a bit.
