Silent Angel – streaming stars

20 February 2022

We have been using Silent Angel’s Bonn N8 network switch and Forester F1 power supply for several months now but sometimes are still surprised by just how big a difference they make to the sound quality of streamed music. They are absolute stars!

Here’s one client’s verdict:

“The Silent Angel has to be the best value for money upgrade I’ve ever made. Regards, John”

Both are permanently installed in our demo room, but possibly the best way to audition this wonderful combination is to try it at home. So we have additional units available for that very purpose. Just get in touch if you’d like to audition Silent Angel in your home system. Take home, plug in (easy) and ‘Enjoy the Silence’!

Bonn N8 is just £399, F1 psu £429.
Bundle price for both, £799.

N8 is a low-noise, audio grade network switch with less-interference and high-precision clock techniques. Designed for HD music streaming enjoyment, it is an ideal solution to create an isolated network setup dedicated to audio uses. featuring:

TCXO – Clock signal: Highly accurate clock module effectively improving the latency issues and jitter impact.

EMI – Filtering technique: High-permeability EMI absorber embedded to eliminate inner electronic noise.

Power adapter – Medical grade: Generates stable power in high-speed networked environments to provide better signal quality.

Both the N8 and F1 are designed and built with one intention – improving musical enjoyment. Together, these components reduce interruptions from household network traffic, lower the impact from other networked appliances and use electrical noise rejection technology both on the clock module and power board.

Bonn N8 is equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports which is sufficient for most home systems, but is also available in a 16-port version, Bonn N16 LPS.

Inside:

 

 

Silent Angel Exclusive Clock Module
Specially Developed TCXO
– Silent Angel’s 0.1ppm Temperature Compensation crystal Oscillator is highly accurate, 50 times precise than a general Crystal Clock, lower the latency issue and jitter effect.​

Jitter Effect Improvement
– Jitter effect can cause music data distortion as transmitting high-frequency network signal, Bonn N8 lowering down the effect to 369ps when most general switch presents at 705ps.

 

 

 

Specially Refined Main Board
High-Permeability EMI Absorber
– Adopting specially chosen EMI absorber embedded to eliminate high frequency electrical noise while transmitting Gigabit network signal to sensitive audio devices.​

Noise-filtering Power Adapter
– Reformed-circuit design to reduce the mechanical noise, with medical grade power adapter to generate the stabilized power to carry high-frequency network data.
