The PhoenixNET is a network switch designed specifically for high-fidelity audio.

Typical IT network switches and routers are built to prioritise data transmission speed, leading to a noise floor and imprecision that can audibly impact the performance of sensitive audio components like DACs and pre-amplifiers.

The PhoenixNET was engineered from the ground up to address this issue. By creating a more precise and cleaner network signal, it can significantly improve sound quality, even when used with high-end systems like our flagship STATEMENT music server/streamer.

Key Features:

  • Minimise Network Switch Noise
  • Increase Clocking Precision and Stability
  • Provide Pristine Power to the Components
  • Minimise Vibration on Components

Drawing on the design principles of the flagship Innuos STATEMENT music server, the PhoenixUSB features three key innovations:

1. Advanced USB Chip Power

The USB chip that regenerates the signal has no internal switching regulators. Instead, all three of its independent voltages are powered by a dedicated linear power supply, with an additional three sets of LT3045 regulators for further precision. This design ensures the chip receives an incredibly clean and stable power supply, free from interference.

2. Direct-Connected OCXO Clock

The unit uses a highly precise 3ppb OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) clock that runs directly at 24MHz. This clock is connected to the USB chip via a short board track, just a couple of inches long. This direct connection eliminates the signal degradation that occurs with cables and connectors, a common issue when using external master clocks that require a separate clock generator.

3. Dual Linear Power Supplies

The PhoenixUSB is equipped with two independent, STATEMENT-level linear power supplies. One is dedicated to the OCXO clock, while the other powers the USB chip and the 5V USB output line. This separation prevents electrical noise from one component from affecting the other, ensuring each part of the re-clocker operates at its peak.

We endeavour to despatch same day for orders placed up to 1pm on available stock items (items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 24 hours"). Please remember to check with us first for a physical stock check if next day delivery is important to you. Any items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 72 hours" are items that we do not hold in stock but order in from the importer or manufacturer as soon as a customer order is received. Occasionally these may be delayed beyond 72 hours due to importer/manufacturer stock levels but we will inform you as soon as we can if this is the case.
