Bonn N8: The Audiophile-Grade Network Switch That Sets the Standard
Awarded StereoNET Applause | HiFi Choice Recommended
Elevate your listening experience with the Bonn N8, a network switch meticulously crafted for high-resolution music streaming. Designed for audiophiles who demand the purest audio quality without the exorbitant price tag, the Bonn N8 is your gateway to a dedicated audio network. By creating a stable, isolated audio zone free from household network clutter, it ensures data flows with minimal interference, precision-timed packets, and a clarity that unleashes the full potential of your high-end HiFi system.
Engineered for Uncompromising Audio Excellence
Unlike many high-end audio brands that rely on low-cost, off-the-shelf components—even in their priciest switches—the Bonn N8 redefines the standard. Ordinary switches may suffice for basic data tasks, but they fall short for audiophile-grade performance. The Bonn N8, however, spares no expense on critical components, delivering true audio-grade quality at a fraction of the cost of rebranded alternatives.
Key features include:
-
Advanced EMI Suppression: A highly permeable EMI absorber (>120@1MHz) inside the enclosure minimizes electrical interference for pristine signal integrity.
-
Medical-Grade Power Adapter: Ensures stable, noise-free power delivery for flawless system performance.
-
Precision TCXO Clock: Silent Angel’s exclusive 0.1ppm Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator—50 times more accurate than generic clocks—slashes latency and jitter for a smoother sound.
-
Jitter Reduction: Cuts jitter to an impressive 369ps (versus 705ps in typical switches), reducing distortion in high-frequency data transmission.
Built for High-Definition Music Streaming
The Bonn N8 creates an independent “Network Ecosystem,” shielding your audio setup from the noise and latency of household traffic—like bandwidth-heavy devices or PCs. The result? Cleaner signals, lower distortion, and exceptional resolution of fine musical details. It’s the perfect backbone for:
-
Roon Optimization: Seamlessly supports Roon setups, pairing flawlessly with Rhein Z1 as a Roon Core server or Munich M1 as a Roon Ready player.
-
Streaming Services: Enhances Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and more with uncompromising quality.
-
NAS Playback: Optimized for music collections on NAS devices from QNAP, Synology, WD, and others.
Take It Further
Unlock even greater performance with these upgrades:
-
Power Upgrade: Pair with the Forester F1 linear power supply (dual 5V 2A DC outputs) for enhanced stability.
-
Vibration Control: Add Silent Angel S28 stainless steel Resonance Control Feet to reduce mechanical noise.
-
Network Expansion: Daisy-chain additional Bonn N8 switches for a fully isolated audio zone.
