| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? With the obvious deficiencies of USB as an audio connection one cannot but wonder why better connections have largely been ignored by server engineers. Might that relate to the ability of asynchronous USB to slave the server‘s clock to the dac? H... | |
| The greatest tweak ever? Since the op is coearly anally retentive, were he to apply the same principle to his mouth we’d enjoy perfect silence | |
| Dvorak Cello Concerto In terms of sheer brilliance and historic context after the Prague Spring in ‘68 I still find Karajan/Rostropovitch hard to beat. | |

| Tweaking the network, surprising results… @wokeuptobose In my experience using a good single core CAT 8 cable might help your issue. I use Onti from Aliexpress and it livens things up without harshness | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? The assumption that more money leads to better sound is often faulty. @mahgister has often made that point beautifully. And digital isn’t analogue where simplicity wins anytime because of transmission losses. | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… I have got my Draytek 2860 router on a Zerozone LPS with an Add Powr Eau2 power conditioner, both on a separate power branch from the system off the main board. choice of power- and DC-cables matters equally. Ideally the router needs to be at lea... | |

| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @vinylfan62 +1, especially when combined with an Etherregen upstream | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? @nyev, you are spot-on. It does though irk that innuOS makes you buy two power supplies and 2 clocks for more or less the same purpose, doesn‘t it? And adding the $6-7k to the DAC budget might have significant benefits as well… | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value All other things equal start on cleaning up the power | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Totally agree. i have had good results from the signal and power cabples as well as fuse and capacitor stickers. Particularly usefull in the fusebox | |
| Holo Audio Titanis A good ocxo clock alone is in excess of $5000. Not many dacs have those inside…Also, the actual DD/AD conversion needs superior clocking as well, it isn‘t just the USB clocking. Good clocking is crucial digital audio. |
