{"product_id":"silent-angel-n8s-hifi-grade-network-switch","title":"Silent Angel N8S HiFi Grade Network Switch","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Silent Angel N8S is a hi-fi-grade network switch engineered around a multi-stage, low-noise power architecture designed to deliver clean, stable network signals to streamers, NAS units, and DACs. Power runs through an ADI LT3042 high-current front stage followed by three SGM2208 linear regulators, bringing supply noise down to under 50 µV, while a dedicated clock board houses a 0.1 ppm TCXO oscillator with its own low-noise LDO to minimize timing jitter in the network path. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP ports run through network transformers rated above 40 dB of isolation at 30 MHz, with tightly controlled 100-ohm PCB impedance and a dual optical-electrical signal path aimed at keeping interference out of the audio chain. Japanese long-life electrolytic capacitors, WIMA MKP capacitors, and high-grade MLCCs fill out the component list, all housed in a cage aluminum alloy chassis. Silent Angel describes it as an evolved, redesigned successor to its original N8 switch, now with added SFP connectivity and an updated finish. As with other audiophile networking products, the sound-quality claims — \"recovering music's authentic texture\" — come from the manufacturer without independent measurements or listening tests, so it's best evaluated as a purpose-built, heavily engineered networking appliance rather than one with externally verified audible improvement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silent Angel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67748367007992,"sku":"N8S-US","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0608\/5624\/files\/SilentAngelN8S.avif?v=1792510594","url":"https:\/\/homeautomationdesigns.com\/products\/silent-angel-n8s-hifi-grade-network-switch","provider":"Home Automation Designs Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
