| Innuos - New Re-Clocker Based on Innuos' focus in this area, their learning from developing the SE and then the Statement, one would expect upsides from their implementations and approach vis a vis the Phoenix. What they state regarding the linear supply + it's implement... | |
| Innuos - New Re-Clocker @in_shore The general feedback on USB reclockers (inserted prior to the the DAC) is positive and owners are happy with the results achieved.I doubt there are ’many’ direct comparisons to the Phoenix since it hasn’t been out that long AND as others... | |

As Charles, @cal3713 and @toetapaudio mention, it will be interesting which of the two you prefer. If you bring in other amps to audition it should get very interesting. : )I have driven the Nenuphars with the... | |
