An audio-grade network switch provides a dedicated wired network connection point for streamers, servers, NAS libraries, and other network-connected audio components in a hi-fi system. How is this different from a regular network switch? A regular switch is designed for general networking. The SS-1 PRO is positioned as an audio-grade switch for systems where the network path is part of a carefully built digital source chain. Is this a music streamer or DAC? No. The Matrix Audio SS-1 PRO Audio Grade Network Switch is a network switch, not a streamer, DAC, amplifier, or preamplifier. Do I still need a router? Yes. A network switch typically connects back to your router or main home network. It does not replace the router itself.
