    Phoenix USB Clocker - Audio Science Review

    In my experience the subjective performance of the PhoenixUSB Reclocker is dependent on the DAC it is connected to.

    Stuck CD

    No, I don’t know sorry. I looked at the Innuos site and saw there are 3 screws on the back. There might be some underneath? It depends on how old is the unit/ is it under warranty etc? You appear to be in Glasgow so a trip for the unit back to Portugal shouldn’t take too long.

    Stuck CD

    Can you take the case off and see if you can physically remove the cd from the drive?

    How to properly unmount a usb drive from Innuos streamer/server?

    Hi @Stephen Healy , Thank you for your comments. It is comforting that you haven’t had an issue but that doesn’t prevent others unless there is something InnuOS is doing that we are not aware of? e.g. Is Innuos executing commands at the completion of the backup process that makes the LinuxOS...

    How to properly unmount a usb drive from Innuos streamer/server?

    Hi Is there a proper way to disconnect a USB drive (stick/thumb or passport type used for backup) from our Innuos streamer/server? In Windows, it is recommended that you use the “eject” command and I found a similar article saying the same for Linux based systems using the “unmount” command...

    Changing face plate

    I remember seeing a post on the Innuos Users FB page from 2022 that someone had ordered a faceplate from Innuos and was selling the one he had removed , so you might contact Innuos.

    Benefit of DDC to zen MK 3 and Denafrips Terminator 2 12th Anniversary DAC

    I’m sure a local stockist of Denafrips would be willing to loan you a Hermes or Giaia , or, sell on a return basis (with perhaps a small re-stocking fee) if it doesn’t work for you. I believe these items (and many other items) are very DAC dependent.

    Tip of The Day - PhoenixNET Connection

    Thank you gentlemen. For the open ports , is it recommended to put some sort of “cap/cover” on them to keep out stray RFI/EMI ?

    Tip of The Day - PhoenixNET Connection

    Does the PhoenixNET galvanically isolate the data in , data out ? It isn’t specifically mentioned in advertising or is this what the statement in the technical advertising for the NET means?? “Massive individual Network Isolation Transformers to further isolate from noise coming from router or...

    Tip of The Day - PhoenixNET Connection

    Are the ethernet ports electrically isolated from each other ? I am currently using the NET switch to connect my ZENith NG (port1) and also to connect (port2) an ASUS router as part of my wifi mesh and Cat6 house LAN. I want to check if connecting this way could the ASUS router introduce noise...

    Innuos Zenith with Sense won't convert/play DSD files, but as Roon Core will

    Did you click on save after choosing the No DSD option in Audio - Sense doesn’t automatically save when you change a setting.

    USB CD Rippers

    Asus ZenDrive U8M Ultra Slim External USB-C DVD Drive and Writer Plugged in to back of Zenith NG with supplied cable , set the offset (+6) and away we went. No drama, worked fine. Not as easy to get cd in/out from the disc drive as compared to my old Zenith mk3 but as I’ve already ripped my...

    Adding album/artist data

    Got it , thank you @Stephen Healy . I’m learning a lot on how to edit data in the system. I wish I’d known how the system names & structures the internal files on import - especially linking to albums/artists/lists etc. I also added a request to access the booklets and other info when playing...

    Anyone successfully used a MiniDSP product with their Innuos device?

    The Statement, nor the mini-DSP have a DAC, I would expect you need to connect the Statement to your DAC , then your DAC output to the mini-DSP to apply the filters/gain to the music stream.

    Zenith mkIII not able to play native DSD with Chord mscaler and tt2 kr Emm lab dac v2?

    @goone Also , the TT2 accepts DSD directly as an input. So, try connecting the Innuos directly to the TT2 (bypass the M-scaler) and set the Innuos DSD as above. You should try listening with the different setups to see which combinations sound best to you , in your system. You can of...
