Denafrips Giaa with a lot more options for digital input & output at 1/2 the price 

Thanks for letting us know of another option ! How good is sounds or compares is another story, but it definitely accommodates more types of products. And Denafrips has a good reputation.

Unfortunately, no. That said, I've tried a plethora of devices over the years, both in terms of USB isolators/reclockers/regenerators, and associated power supplies. They include, in order of increasing sound quality and increasing cost:

• Wyred 4 Sound Recovery
• Intona Isolator
• Intona Isolator + W4S Recovery
• Uptone ISO-Regen
• SOtM tX-USBultra
• SOtM tX-USBultra reference clocked by MUTEC REF 10
• SOtM tX-USBultra reference clocked by MUTEC REF 10 SE 120

Ditto for power supplies.

 

There's something for every budget, but raising SQ does cost more, sadly not necessarily linearly. Such is audio!

Well stated! There are power cords out there costing half as much as the Phoenix, which would raise sound quality, but would also start a fight! Thanks for keeping the review corralled.
