In the era of streaming and networked audio sources, your computer hardware must meet audiophile requirements.An example of this is the QNET L2 Ethernet switch presented by Nordost.New in a standard 5-port configuration, it has been specially designed for clear sounding network audio.They also talked about a low noise, stable clock generator designed to reduce jitter and phase noise.There are six separate power supplies inside the device.According to Nordost, the use of the Nordost QSOURCE linear power supply will significantly improve the performance of QNET.It is clear that ordinary patchcords, which are quite suitable for onboard 8P8C (RJ45) connectors, are also recommended not to be used - Nordost Ethernet cables are preferred.
