The Matrix Audio SS-1 Audio Grade Network Switch integrates dual 10Gbps SFP/SFP+ optical ports alongside dedicated audio Ethernet connections to isolate digital streamers from electrical noise and preserve signal purity.Optical Isolation for Cleaner Sound:Standard home routers and computing switches introduce electrical interference through copper cabling, adding background haze to delicate music tracks. The Matrix Audio SS-1 solves this by providing dual 10Gbps SFP/SFP+ fiber optic connections that physically decouple your hi-fi gear from the wider network. By severing conductive copper pathways, optical cabling stops unwanted ground noise from reaching your digital-to-analogue converter, allowing subtle acoustic details and spacious dynamics to emerge effortlessly.Precision Timing and Filtered Power:Accurate digital delivery requires exact timing and quiet internal power. The Matrix Audio SS-1 features an internal ultra-low phase noise femtosecond clock system that aligns data packets cleanly, eliminating timing jitter before it impacts your listening experience. Multi-stage low-dropout voltage regulators ensure stable operation across every circuit. For listeners seeking greater performance, an auto-sensing 12V DC input automatically disengages the internal power supply when paired with an external linear power unit. The heavy aluminum enclosure dissipates heat passively without moving parts, keeping your listening room completely silent.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Matrix Audio, connecting music lovers with high-performance digital solutions backed by dedicated technical support and full manufacturer warranty coverage.
