Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB


Has anyone compared the sound quality of the Innuos Statement vs the Zenith Mk 3 + PhoenixUSB, on a fairly revealing system? I’ve read several pro reviewers saying the boost in sound quality moving to the Statement is pretty small. One reviewer even said it was hard for him to hear the improvement of the Statement over the Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB, but thought the Statement may have been slightly better. I also have the PhoenixNET.

My question pertains to the original Statement without the new next gen power supply upgrade. But, if anyone has experience with the next gen upgrade I’d be interested in that as well. The difference the upgrade makes is clearly audible on the YouTube demo comparisons, so I imagine the benefit in real life goes much further.

i was not thinking of using both in the same system. The USB Regen was cheap enough that i thought it would be interesting to have it for a comparison. i also have a much cheaper bedroom system that can use it in.

@russ751 - Would love to know what your thoughts were after testing the Innuos Zenith mkiii with the Innuos USB. How did that experience go?
