Coincidentally Volent Audio turned out to be the reseller of Innuos / Intona / PLiXiR here in Hong Kong, let's hope that PhoenixUSB could be tested with Statement again with MUCH better cables in the near future https://intona.eu/en/products/wheretobuy/ http://www.volent.com.hk/index.php/brands/innuos/ https://www.plixirpower.com/blogs/asia/volent-corporation-limited Link to comment
