Innuos PhoenixNET Network Switch

The switch is capped at 100Mbps specifically to lower the electrical noise floor. By limiting the bandwidth to what is strictly necessary for high-resolution audio streaming, the device minimizes high-frequency interference that can degrade sound quality.

While you won't have visual confirmation of data flow on the switch itself, the PhoenixNET is designed to be a 'plug-and-play' unmanaged device. The absence of LEDs is a deliberate choice to eliminate a source of electrical noise that could otherwise introduce jitter into your audio signal.

The Statement-grade OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) acts as a highly precise heartbeat for the switch. By keeping the clock temperature stable and accurate, it significantly reduces timing errors, resulting in a cleaner, more stable digital signal for your streamer or DAC.

No, it is an unmanaged Layer 2 switch. You simply connect your router and your audio components via Ethernet cables, and it functions immediately without the need for software updates or network configuration.

The feet are specifically tuned to the chassis resonance of the PhoenixNET to absorb external mechanical vibrations. By isolating the internal components from micro-phonics, the switch ensures that the sensitive clocking and power circuits operate without interference.

Yes, the PhoenixNET is a universal network switch compatible with any Ethernet-based audio streamer or server. It is designed to improve the signal integrity of any high-fidelity network audio setup, regardless of the brand of your other components.
