Innuos is the name for High Fidelity Digital Servers and Streamers.
Awarded and Applauded and when you Experience it you will understand Why!
STATEMENT NEXT GEN
Astonishing realism, presence, depth and spaciousness - these are the hallmarks of our flagship music server/streamer. Designed to push the boundaries of Digital
Audio to their limits, STATEMENT NG is a state-of-the-art source for the most discerning audiophiles. The Next Gen Power Supply is the result of our ongoing
research and development efforts with an innovative power supply design and top-of-the-line components.

STATEMENT Next Gen
Music Server/Streamer
1.
The Next-Gen Power Supply
POWER TO PERFORM
Each critical component of the server receives its own dedicated power supply
from one of the 8 independent power rails, further preventing component
cross-contamination. The STATEMENT uses a dedicated power supply for each
of the Ethernet and USB high-precision oven-controlled crystal oscillator
(OCXO) clocks, ensuring these clocks work at their best.
​
OPTIMISED CHASSIS
Housed in a casing of 10mm-thick CNC-machined aluminum, the STATEMENT
is not just a pretty face. The thick metal enclosure helps to isolate external EMI,
and its weight helps dampen harmful vibration into the system. By using a
double-enclosure design, it also helps to contain the vibration effects of the
massive 540VA toroidal transformer at its heart.
​
PRECISION-TIMED SIGNAL
STATEMENT’s custom-designed components include USB and Ethernet
re-clocking for higher precision and lower phase noise. At the heart of the design
are 3 principles: The use of very high-precision 3 parts per billion (3ppb) OCXO clocks
for timing the signals, extreme care in powering important components preventing
cross-contamination, and extremely short paths between components.
​
REACHING HIGHER
The Next-Gen power section uses two custom-designed ARC6 AC/DC modules
– each containing a high-precision active rectifier board, a massive 10mH DC
choke and substantial capacitance provided by six Mundorf caps.
SMOOTHER PERFORMANCE
The ARC6 modules are mounted on the new Adaptive Vibration Control (AVC)
platform – a combination of Panzerholz wood with a specific density gel layer,
which is highly effective at dampening high-frequency vibration coming
from the chassis.
​
In the server section, the regulator modules include a dedicated processor
booster module, providing up to 15A of current to the processor for faster
transients. All rails are further smoothed by new Audio Note KAISEI capacitors
benefitting all the main components: motherboard, USB reclocker, Ethernet
clock module and SSD.
The results are crystal clear: superb realism with detailed textures, expansive soundstage and wide dynamics.
Phoenix USB Reclocker
The PhoenixUSB Reclocker takes the USB signal from any source and completely regenerates it to an extremely high-precision signal to feed into your DAC, allowing it to perform at its best.
​
The PhoenixUSB offers in one unit the equivalent of 3 separate components: A USB regenerator, a linear power supply and an external master clock with its own linear power supply.
Innuos applied 3 main design approaches learning from their experience with the Innuos flagship music server, the STATEMENT:
01.
The USB chip regenerating the signal contains no switching regulators. All 3 independent voltages to the chip originate from an independent linear power supply with further regulation provided by 3 sets of LT3045 regulators.
02.
The use of a 3ppb OCXO clock running directly at 24MHz and connected via a board track just a couple of inches away from the USB chip. Therefore, no precision is lost within cables and connectors, as is the case when using an external master 10MHz clock with an additional 24MHz clock generator.
03.
Two independent Statement-level linear power supplies, one dedicated to the OCXO clock and the other used for powering the USB chip/5V USB line.
Phoenix Net- Audiophile-grade Network Switch
Designed from the ground up for network audio
Typical IT network 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. PhoenixNET can improve sound quality when used with nearly any audio component, even our flagship STATEMENT music server/streamer.
The 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 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.
01.
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.
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 as blinking leds introduce considerable electrical noise.
EMI absorption at the right places so that interference produced can be captured before influencing other components.
02.
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 network switch chip, avoiding precision losses from using external master clocks.
03.
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, keeping the power path short with less opportunity for EMI contamination.
04.
Minimize Vibration on Components
Vibration was managed 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.
Innuos Sense App
Innuos Sense App, a powerful and elegant music management tool, works with our in-house developed Operating System – InnuOs.
Read the Inn-sights Blog for details on the latest innuOS updates.
​
Innuos Sense is our control App which is offered with all our music server/streamers as well as our network players.
A powerful music management tool that works the way you do. Integrated with our Operating System – innuOS - Sense is made to help you manage, organize and play your music and navigate streaming services with ease.
Sense App is available on iOS, Android or Amazon Fire devices and can also be accessed through any web browser.
​
At the heart of the Innuos Sense App is its tight integration with our Operating System: innuOS, which represents a profound change on both the UI and the backend of the music servers and allows complete Music Library playback and management through your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
