Innuos - New Re-Clocker


Heard Innuos was launching a Re-Clocker.  Anyone have details on the specs and performance?

I'm no longer sure what the meaning of "reclocking" is as used in this thread.

With asyncronous (not at the same time) USB, the pulling of data from the source (USB) is done by the DAC.  The source (the PC or streamer) has no effective control over it, and must wait to be called.

It will take a lot for me to understand how ANY clock in the middle of this would affect the outcome, except perhaps to make things worse.

The DAC doesn't "reclock" because it IS the clock.


Every true reclocker I know of was for non USB end points, and would do ASR conversion.

That is, they would literally replace the bits coming in with new bits at a new sample rate.
USB doesn’t need a better clock. It needs a better signal transition, with low noise and galvanic isolation.

The "eye" pattern.

This has nothing to do with having an atomic clock in the isolator.
I'm sorry, I'm sure it is covered, but the PhoenixUSB is USB in as well as USB out?

Am I understanding that correctly??
