Innuos Zenith ripper/streamer

[MightyMart]

A new product from Innous has been announced, see links below.  Apparently the Innuos Phoenix is the "USB reclocker" part of the Innous Statement, designed as an add on item for owners of the Innuos Zenith, or other devices outputting USB.  I quite enjoyed the comments after the Audiosteam news article, straight in there with an objective versus subjective argument, even before anyone has actually listened to one of these things.  An interesting if obviously controversial product.  Are there any Zenith owners out there thinking of trying one with their Devialet?

I’ve had the Phoenix in my system now for about two months and any thoughts of this product being “controversial” will leave your mind in an instant once you experience the difference it makes. It’s simply put an amazing piece of kit!

i can’t tell you how it works exactly and I have not tried it with a Devialet since I have traded in my D400 (making a massive loss of money having bought it new), but the results with my Gryphon Diablo 300 w DAC is really something special. My guess is that all you Devialet owners would benefit from it too.

The results? A more organic, fluid and homogeneous sound without sacrificing any detail or depth or dynamics. Instead the Phoenix enhances those qualities and you find yourself enjoying music you don’t even like. Very annoying!

The sound becomes almost physically tangible and you stop listening to details and/or nuances and simply start to enjoy the music it creates. It’s even made me cry listening to opera!
