USB Reclocker

I would appreciate any feedback/experience/recommendations on adding a USB reclocker between a server and DAC? In my case a Roon nucleus+ server and a Chord DAVE DAC. I was looking at the Innuos Phoenix USB Reclocker.

i have a Ferrum LPS for the Nucleus+ and the DAVE power supply has been been updated with 3 independent Farad PSs.

Should a CHORD M-Scaler be a consideration?

Yes streaming from the Nucleus+. I was looking for feedback on the Innuos Reclocker to add to the signal from the Roon going to the DAVE. My reading suggests that the ethernet switch does not do anything to the signal due to TCP/IP (I am not a techy). I have not experimented but there are some videos on youtube  by Audio Science Review - Amir that suggest these make no difference. However, If a DAC got the cleanest signal I would think the DAC would be able to produce the best outcome and hence the USB reclocker.

Jerry, thanks for sharing. So you think that a high quality switch and a reclocker should have a pretty good outcome..  I thought the Farad power supplies significantly elevated the performance of the DAVE. Did you also change the power supply for the M-Scaler to a Farad as well? Did you find the M-Scaler to be a subtle improvement or as much as adding the Farad PSs.?
