Specification

• • • • 100% custom motherboard developed exclusively for high-end music playback (100% linear powered motherboard)
      • optimo™ n1 linear power supply, 3 separate, galvanically isolated voltage rails power the main switch circuit, the system clock, and the isolated output individually.
      • master ocxo clock
      • 1 × sfp port
      • 4 × non-isolated 1 gbit rj45 ports (auto-negotiating)
      • 1 × fully isolated 1 gbit rj45 port using state-of-the-art optoisolator, ensuring complete galvanic isolation of data lines, clock, control signals, and ground.
      • all ethernet ports feature low-noise, high common-mode noise rejection signal transformers, paired with military-spec jacks to ensure long-term reliability and optimal signal transmission.
      • audio-optimized software: all unnecessary protocols, including energy-saving features, are disabled to prevent any potential impact on audio performance.
        this sound-first approach may result in limited compatibility with some older 100m-only devices, particularly on the isolated port. for best performance, modern gigabit-capable devices are recommended.
      • dimensions (w x d x h): 241 x 270 x 97 mm
      • weight: 5 kg
