I have been reading this forum for years and not commented previously, but this thread has perked my interest enough to make my first comment.
To the OP, even though I’m guessing you have long since made up your mind about, will a Phoenix reclocker improve sq from my Zenith Mk2 in my system? The answer is definitely yes and it will not be a small improvement, it will be impressive. My only caveat is you need to use at least reasonable quality USB cables to get the most out of the Phoenix, having said that one needs at least a good quality USB cable to get the most out of a Zenith in the first place.
And before all of the armchair experts, who have never heard how much sq difference a Phoenix makes say obviously I need a better Dac, well think again, I have tried it with various quality Dac’s including my Mola Mola Tambaqui and every time it makes a big jump in sq. Is the Phoenix worth the money? the answer is yes, it’s the best dollars I have spent so far in HiFi.
By the way my streamer is a Zenith Mk3 but I have also tried it with a Auralic Aries G2.1 and again the Phoenix is the goods.
regards,
Terry
