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

I have the ZENith MKII & am sending it to a Yggdrasil (A2) dac...I love the sound but this Phoenix has me curious. Based on what I'm reading from some folks that have heard the difference it can make it may be well worth plunking down the $3k if it makes that big of a sonic jump!
I've had the new Innuos Phoenix Reclocker for a little over a week now. I am running my Innuos ZENith MKII server to it and then on to my Schiit Ygdrasil (A2),McIntosh MA8900 & on to a pair of KEF R11's. So far I am very impressed. I can't detect much change in the midrange but the extension in low & high frequencies is very noticeable & stunning at times. Some tracks I think I may notice a slight improvement but then others are like being hit by a 2x4. Just this morning 'You Not Me' from Dream Theater came on my server & the resolution & clarity, separation of instruments made me stop what I was doing & listen to it twice. It's like it has removed a barrier &  my system is deeper in bass than ever before & cymbal rings & decay seem to hang in the air with a sustain that is just awesome. I do zero streaming, my music server consists of my CD collection that I have ripped to it in FLAC, so I can't speak to how it sounds from a streaming perspective. I will also note I am also using a custom power cable & usb in & out from Triode Wire Labs. So far so good!
