Täysin audiokäyttöön suunniteltu ja optimoitu QNET7 on Nordostin viimeisin ja paras taidonnäyte osaamisesta ethernet-verkon saralla. Seitsemän portin ethernet-jakaja täysin omilla, itsenäisillä virtalähteillä ja huippunopealla, laadukkaalla kellopiirillä. Yksi portti 100BASE-TX, yksi portti 1000BASE-T ja 1000BASE-LX/SX SFP ja viisi automaattisesti skaalautuvaa 1000BASE-T porttia. Tukeva alumiinikotelo. Erillinen DC-virtalähde. Vielä parempi ääni QSOURCE Linear Power Supply-virtalähteellä.
Lisävarusteena QNET Stand-jalusta, jossa paikat myös Sort Kones-tassuille resonanssien tehokkaaseen eliminointiin.
In the pursuit of perfect sound, every detail counts. If you’re striving to extract every last nuance from your digitally sourced system, your network switch is a linchpin in achieving that goal. This is where the QNET7 comes in.
The QNET7 is Nordost’s enhanced layer-2 Ethernet Switch, meticulously engineered to elevate digital audio performance. Unlike many so-called ”audiophile” switches that simply modify pre-existing consumer-grade options, the QNET7 is designed from the ground up to eliminate the noise generated in high-speed digital transmission and ensure a pristine signal path for your music.
The QNET7 boasts widespread compatibility and high-speed connectivity. Its seven ports have distinct specifications and functions. Ports 1-5 are auto-negotiated 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps) capable, and are ideal for inputs like routers and other network devices, like NAS drives. Port 6 is auto-negotiated, 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) capable for optimum audio performance, and is constructed to allow for even more noise control. This port is perfect for streamers or servers/DACs. Lastly, Port 7 is compatible with 1000BASE-T (IEEE 802.3ab) and 1000BASE-LX/SX [802.3z-1998 (CL38)] SFP Transceiver/Modules, allowing it to be used as either an aftermarket RJ-45 or optical port, as needed.
Additionally, the new QNET7 is equipped with nine independent, ultra-low-noise power supplies, which minimize cross-contamination and ensure clean, interference-free operation. This intelligent design reduces jitter and noise, resulting in a dramatic improvement in sonic clarity, precise imaging, and musical fidelity.
For ultimate performance potential, it is best to pair the QNET7 with Nordost’s QSOURCE Linear Power Supply. The QSOURCE offers exceptional voltage regulation, low ripple, and outstanding transient response. For even further optimization, take the full system approach and incorporate the QRT Stand Mount and Sort Kones, for both the QNET7 and QSOURCE, to combat harmful vibrations.
The QNET7 Network Switch is a major foundational upgrade to any digital system that brings new dimensions to your streamed or stored music.
”. . . there is an important musical consideration the QNET 7 brings to network audio; a sense of order and calm to the music. It’s as if the musicians practiced a little more before they went into the studio. Music hangs together better here. Once again, this is more peeling away layers between the listener and the music, rather than adding or changing the sound.”– Alan Sircom, hi-fi+
