Nordost QNET7 Audio Network Switch

Nordost QNET7 Audio Network Switch

Nordost QNET7 Audio Network Switch is designed for high-performance streaming audio systems where the network infrastructure is considered an important part of the complete hi-fi chain.

In a modern digital audio system, streamers, music servers, NAS storage, routers and switches all work together before the signal reaches the DAC. A dedicated audio network switch can help organise this part of the system and provide a more stable connection between network audio components.

QNET7 is intended for serious setups where streaming is not treated as a casual convenience, but as a primary music source. It can be used between the router and streamer, between a music server and network player, or as the central network point for several audio-related Ethernet devices.

For best results, QNET7 should be considered together with the rest of the streaming infrastructure: Ethernet cables, power supply, router placement, streamer quality and DAC connection. In a resolving system, improving the network chain can help create a more stable and coherent digital front end.

Use QNET7 with suitable Network Cables for Ethernet connections, and combine it with quality Streamers & Network Players and carefully chosen Power Supplies, Controllers, and Conditioners where appropriate.

At Hi-Fi Market, we can help decide whether Nordost QNET7 makes sense for your streaming system, where it should be placed in the network chain, and which Ethernet cables or power-related upgrades should be considered first.
