The Innuos PhoenixNET Audiophile Ethernet Switch improves sound quality with any audio component, even the flagship STATEMENT music server/streamer.
The PhoenixNET switch is the realization of Innuos’ philosophy of simplicity and signal purity applied to the network switch. Having started with improvements to the Ethernet ports’ clock on our flagship Statement, Innuos has now brought the concept to a network switch design that focuses exclusively on audio use for musical details that stand out, a blacker background, better instrument separation and realism.
Design is focused on 4 areas: Noise, Clock, Power and Vibration.
Minimize Network Switch Noise
Simpler 100mbps network switch chip results in lower operating noise floor compared to Gigabit.
Network switch chip with no internal switching regulators. All 3 independent voltages supplied by internal Statement-grade linear power supply with independent ultra-low noise regulation from the PhoenixNET Audiophile Ethernet Switch.
Massive individual Network Isolation Transformers to further isolate from noise coming from router or connected devices.
Just the right amount of Individually shielded, high-quality ethernet ports soldered directly to the board with no ethernet activity lights. Blinking LEDs introduce considerable electrical noise.
EMI absorption at the right places so that interference produced can be captured before influencing other components.
Increase Clocking Precision and Stability
Using the same 3ppb 25MHz OCXO oscillator as used in the Statement, individually powered by its own linear power supply and connected directly to the Innuos PhoenixNET network switch chip, avoiding precision losses from using external master clocks.
Provide Pristine Power to the Components
Two independent STATEMENT-grade linear power supplies with Mundorf Caps to power individually the OCXO clock and the mainboard, while keeping the power path short with less opportunity for EMI contamination.
Minimize Vibration on Components
The Innuos PhoenixNET Ethernet switch manages vibration at 3 levels. Anti-Vibration feet tuned to the resonant frequency of the chassis, top cover treatment to convert vibration captured from sound waves into small amounts of heat and sturdy RJ45 ports with silicone connection to the chassis.
