The Audiophile-Grade Network Switch That Sets the Standard

Presenting Bonn N8: a network switch purpose-designed for High Resolution Music Streaming. Audiophiles seeking to build a Dedicated Audio Network that delivers the purest possible audio quality at an attainable price will find Bonn N8 the ideal solution.

Bonn N8 enables music lovers to create a stable and isolated audio zone, completely independent of household network traffic. As a result, data is transmitted with less interference, more accurately timed data packets, and a purity and freedom from distortion that maximizes the true potential of fine HiFi systems.

Optimized for Superior Audio Quality

Many High End Audio manufacturers utilize low-cost commodity components in their network switches—even very expensive ones. Although acceptable for basic data transmission, these parts cannot adequately support an audio-grade network.

The Bonn N8 was designed to deliver superior audio quality by specifying critical components without compromise or regard for cost. At a time when traditional High End companies are repackaging standard switches as “Audio-Grade,” Bonn delivers true Audiophile Grade performance at a fraction of the price.

Designed for HD Music Streaming

The Bonn N8 enables an isolated “Network Ecosystem,” creating an independent low-noise, low-interference HiFi audio zone. It effectively separates audio devices from household network traffic and reduces degradation caused by network broadcasting storms and latency from bandwidth-intensive activities such as PCs and other devices.

The result is greater signal purity with lower noise and distortion, and higher resolution of fine musical detail.

Optimized for Music Applications

• Optimized for Roon infrastructure
  (e.g. Rhein Z1 as Roon Core server or Munich M1 as Roon Ready player)

• Optimized for high-resolution streaming services
  such as TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and more

• Optimized for playing music collections from NAS (Network Attached Storage)
  Compatible with multiple brands including QNAP, Synology, WD NAS

• A highly permeable EMI absorber (>120 @1MHz) is deployed inside the enclosure to reduce electrical interference

Noise-filtering Power Adapter

A medical-grade power adapter ensures stable power delivery and precise system operation.

Exclusive Clock Module – TCXO

Silent Angel’s 0.1 ppm TCXO (Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator) is 50 times more precise than the generic crystal clocks used by competitors. This results in lower latency and significantly reduced jitter effects.

Jitter Effect Improvement

When transmitting high-frequency network packets, distortion is a common artifact. The Bonn N8 effectively lowers jitter to 369 ps, whereas typical switches measure around 705 ps
