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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PhoenixNET 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 taken the concept to the next level with a completely new network switch design that focuses exclusively on audio use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign is focused on 4 areas: Noise, Clock, Power and Vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMinimize Network Switch Noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimpler 100mbps network switch chip results in lower operating noise floor compared to Gigabit\u003cbr\u003eNetwork switch chip with no internal switching regulators.
