    Does anybody know if Ground Master needs to be used with only Puritan's products or can be used with any power distribution system that has a ground post?

    Innuos PhoenixNet with Windows computer?

    I wanted to check if anyone here is using Innuos PhoenixNet with Windows based computer as streaming source? I am asking because since the computer buffers the music, when I pull out the ethernet cable while music is playing (from the buffer), I hear the improvement. Is that the level of...

    Here is what I can say about Phoenix USB. If yo have money and you are not trying this, you are committing a mistake, yes, it is that good. Logically thinking, it is about providing cleaner fuel to the system. What I can assure all is that no matter what your DAC is, this will change your...

    Yes, when you do this, you get to hear more(clean) music and solid imaging. In fact, I get better result whenever I insert Phoenix between DAC and any USB source, be it Windows, iOS or ubuntu.
