Innuos stellte auf dem Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, das vom 5. bis 8. September 2019 stattfand, weltweit den neuen PhoenixUSB Reclocker vor. Dieser kann das USB-Signal einer beliebigen Quelle umfassend in ein äußerst präzises Signal zur Weiterverarbeitung in einem bereits vorhandenen DAC umwandeln, damit dieser seine optimale Leistung erbringen kann. Die Technologie basiert auf den Erfahrungen, die Innuos mit dem Flagshchiff-Produkt STATEMENT machen konnte. Der neue PhoenixUSB wertet dabei die Leistungsfähigkeit des DAC durch drei separate Komponenten auf, die er in seinem Gehäuse vereint:
• ein USB Regenerator
• ein Linearnetzteil
• eine externe Masterclock mit eigenem Linearnetzteil
Händlerpreis: 2.499 UVP
Hier die originale Pressemitteilung von Innuos vom September 2019.
Take the USB signal from any source and completely regenerate it to an extremely high-precision signal into your DAC, allowing it to perform at its best. The PhoenixUSB offers in one unit the equivalent of 3 separate components:
- A USB regenerator
- a linear power supply
- an external master clock with its own linear power supply.
Innuos applied 3 main design approaches learning from their experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the STATEMENT:
- The USB chip regenerating the signal contains no switching
regulators. All 3 independent voltages to the chip originate from an
independent linear power supply with further regulation provided
by 3 sets of LT3045 regulators. - The use of a 3ppb OCXO clock running directly at 24MHz and
connected via a board track just a couple of inches away from
the USB chip. Therefore, no precision is lost within cables and
connectors, as is the case when using an external master 10MHz
clock with an additional 24MHz clock generator. - Two independent Statement-level linear power supplies, one
dedicated to the OCXO clock and the other used for powering the
USB chip/5V USB line.
The PhoenixUSB’s world premier will be at RMAF in Suite 3142 where
Innuos will partner with renowned local Colorado brands YG, Ayre and
Boulder for a top of the class system. Cables and Power Conditioner
will be provided by Audioquest. Visitors will be able to experience
the upgrade in sound quality the PhoenixUSB can bring to a source
component through A/B demos done by the Innuos team.
Retail pricing of the new PhoenixUSB Reclocker will be $3,149 USD, $4,099
CAD, €2,499 Eur, £2,249 GBP.
