Innuos NazaréFLOW
The NazaréFLOW is a no-compromise digital audio reclocker built for listeners who demand absolute signal integrity between source and DAC. By separating the communication layer from the electrical complexity of a streamer, it becomes the single timing reference for the entire signal path — delivering a perfectly synchronised, pristinely regenerated output. It works with any source component offering a USB audio output, and is a natural partner for the Innuos NAZARÉ music server. Combined with the NazaréNET network isolator, the three components form the complete NAZARÉ Stack — Innuos's most complete statement in digital audio.
Master Reclocker Circuit and OCXO Clock
Phase noise accumulates whenever multiple independent clocks are involved in a signal path. The NazaréFLOW addresses this by becoming the master reclocker — the single timing reference for the entire communication path. At its core is an ultra-high precision OCXO oscillator running to 3 ppb accuracy, with its own dedicated isolated power rail. By relocating the reclocking stage close to the DAC Connection Module, the system minimises degradation and regenerates the signal with exceptional accuracy. Within a stage free from any computing or processing, the result is a coherent, natural presentation where transients are rendered precisely, spatial cues are fully realised, and music flows with an effortless sense of realism.
Modular Output Architecture
Alongside the high-performance USB output that comes as standard, the NazaréFLOW introduces a modular design with optional dedicated DAC Connection Modules tailored to specific DACs and their native protocols:
- FLOW ProISL — for MSB DACs, using MSB's ProISL protocol
- FLOW CH-Link — for CH Precision DACs, using the CH Link protocol
- Further modules are in development
These modules give the best of both worlds: the NazaréFLOW acts as master reclocker for PCM/DSD communication, while the DAC contributes the master clocks for the audio itself. Each clock is placed exactly where it gives the most benefit, resulting in a signal path optimised end-to-end.
NAZARÉ-Grade Power Supply
The power supply is engineered to the same standard as the NAZARÉ music server, and represents the most advanced power design Innuos have produced to date. Custom-wound multifilar toroidal transformers are paired with bespoke Lundahl inductors from Sweden to guard against mains noise. The AC/DC rectification stage is built around Innuos's proprietary GaN-ARC8 modules, developed in collaboration with power supply designer Dr. Sean Jacobs. These Gallium nitride modules are faster and cleaner than silicon, backed by an energy reservoir of 376,000 µF for rapid, low-impedance current delivery. Precise DC regulation is handled by advanced DC4 modules — also developed with Dr. Sean Jacobs — incorporating high-precision foil resistors for ultra-low-noise, stable output. Premium internal cabling completes the design.
NAZARÉ Chassis
The NazaréFLOW uses SmartStack vibration control technology developed in collaboration with TONEO, applied across all critical components including transformers, capacitors, regulation modules, and output boards. The chassis is CNC-machined from 10mm aluminium for extensive EMI shielding, with an asymmetric fascia designed to break up standing waves and reduce resonance. Isolation feet, developed in collaboration with IsoAcoustics and tuned specifically for this system, complete a mechanically silent environment.
Handcrafted in Portugal
Every NazaréFLOW is handcrafted at Innuos's headquarters in Faro, in the Algarve, in a temperature and humidity-controlled ESD production lab. Circuit boards are designed and built in-house, with components sourced from partners in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and the USA.

Who Is It For?
The NazaréFLOW is for listeners who have invested seriously in a high-performance digital source and DAC, and want to ensure the connection between the two is contributing nothing of its own. It is a natural partner for the Innuos NAZARÉ music server, and together with the Innuos NazaréNET network isolator, forms the complete NAZARÉ Stack. It will also work with any source component that offers a USB audio output. If you are running an MSB or CH Precision DAC, the optional dedicated modules make the NazaréFLOW a particularly compelling proposition.
Buying from Martins Hi-Fi
Martins Hi-Fi has been in Norwich since 1968. Elizabeth Gould runs the business today, and we stock only brands we have heard properly and stand behind.
We held the first UK Innuos Nazaré event, and our team has extensive experience with the full Innuos range. Dave and Chris are the people to speak to about how the NazaréFLOW fits into your system — whether you are building a complete NAZARÉ Stack or adding the reclocker to an existing source. We can also demonstrate the Innuos Statement and Innuos Stream3 in our Norwich showroom.
