Typical IT switches & routers are designed with the sole purpose of taking data from A to B with a noise floor and precision that is “enough” for the rate of transmission. This is fine for data networks but when sensitive components such as DACs and Pre Amplifiers are involved, it will have an audible impact on sound quality.
The PhoenixNet is the realization of Innuos’ philosophy of simplicity and signal purityapplied to the network switch. Having started with improvements to the ethernet ports’ clock on the flagship Statement, Innuos has now taken the concept to the next level with a completely new switch design tht focusses exclusively on audio use.
Kantata Audio is among the first dealers to have a PhoenixNET on demo and look forward to showing it off when COVID restrictions allow. In the meantime, an extended home demo is always possible.
