Article: Review | Innuos PhoenixUSB Reclocker

[FrankMA]

Thanks for the thorough and detailed review as usual @austinpop 

 

As a SE MKII Std owner I have had my eye on this unit to replace my tX-USBultra/Uptone LPS1.2 spaghetti chain for awhile. You certainly are one of the most trusted sources out here so that holds quite a bit of weight with me before expending those $'s.

 

I had been waiting to sell some equipment before pulling the trigger but you may have killed my last ounce of patience. Thank you. I think 😂

 

@kennyb123 I do agree we have been waiting quite a while for some of these promised improvements from @nvitorino  I am particularly frustrated with Experimental Mode bugs not getting resolved because it clearly sounds better but I've given up due to the unreliability.

I made the mistake a few week ago of finally switching off Roon to hear just their internal player.  This did sound a bit better than Experimental mode.  

Hi @kennyb123 Agree 100%. iPeng is the best sounding out of all options. But usability is far below Roon. I'd be happy with a functioning Experimental Mode/Roon as the alternative.  

I used to use it much more for critical listening and your comment has me thinking I'm going to have to go back for another extended listen.

A “birdie” told me the other day that the new InnuOS 1.4.4. update will be out this Tuesday, 5/19. It is supposed to fix the Roon SqueezeLite experimental feature among other things

Thanks for the heads up @thyname 😀
