English Electric - 8Switch

English Electric 8Switch - A network switch for the hi-fi enthusiast

Within the digital world, and especially when it comes to streaming, there is one widespread belief: that digital signals are by nature immune to errors in analogue transmission. In other words, zeros and ones are a digital code that simply needs to be read and then converted into a correct analogue language that our equipment can play back without any significant difference.
However, it is not that simple.

Even the most hardened digital sceptics will be surprised by the difference there actually is when a truly good high-end switch is used. Music via streaming is about more than just numbers and various measurements. You can quite simply hear the difference and, not least, sense the difference when it sounds right.

Advanced technologies

8Switch is made solely with one purpose in mind - namely to reproduce the network signal as cleanly and undisturbed as possible. With 8 audio-grade 100/1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet ports, a high-quality jitter clock, and a TCXO crystal

oscillator, English Electric 8Switch is more than capable of generating an untouched and undisturbed network signal. A great deal of thought and work has truly gone into this. Even the power supply and chassis are designed with sound quality in mind.

All of this naturally comes at a price. A price that is surprisingly low and certainly within reach for anyone with a serious setup where streaming our beloved music is part of the system. If you doubt the effect of a high-quality network switch like this excellent 8Switch from English Electric, or are simply curious to hear what is possible to achieve for "real-world money", then we at Lydspecialisten look forward to giving you an experience that makes a difference.
