Silent Angel Bonn N8-TCXO Audiophile Ethernet Switch

I have reviewed audiophile switches in the € 800 to € 1,000 price range and found them improving the sound quality clearly. Not so long ago Thunder Data introduces the Silent Angel Bonn N8 audiophile switch just under € 400….Hans Beekhuyzen  -  Watch his youtube video review of Silent Angel Bonn N8 switch.

By improving power signal quality and network signal quality and TCXO technology, Bonn N8 introduces significant improvement in music streaming playback through a streaming service or a NAS. On Bonn N8, there are a total of 8 high quality gigabit Ethernet ports, which make it possible to connect network ports on all audio devices simultaneously. 

Innovative Technology

Silent Angel Bonn N8 = Revolution, combined with innovation, to make music more musical and emotional. It features low electrical noise and high anti-interference ability and makes it possible to get rid of data loss and electrical noise. As a result, the Silent Angel generates high quality network signals for your audio system.

Precise control of the clock signal

The Silent Angel customized TCXO (Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator) is highly accurate. Its accuracy is 0.1ppm, which is much higher than a normal crystal and higher than a normal TCXO. With this TCXO, Bonn N8 is able to generate a more accurate network signal and provide more stable music data transmission.

Improved Main Board Design

Power circuit = 2 electrical noise isolation circuits, with a noise rejection rate of 17dB Clock generation circuit = 2 electrical noise isolation circuits, with a noise rejection rate of 20dB

 These noise isolation circuits ensure the Bonn N8 works in a stable state, with resulting stable network signals.

High Permeability EMI Absorber

To further reduce noise from digital circuits, the Bonn N8 has included a specialized EMI absorber at the inner side of bottom case to absorb the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) from the inner digital circuit. This works to make the network signal and clock circuit more stable and clear in order to generate clearer network signals.

The innovative value of Bonn N8

Compared to a general network switch, innovative and creative technologies is the at the core of the Bonn N8. Our engineers can demonstrably show an improvement on the signal measurements of the Bonn N8 as compared to a general network switch.

What we have done to make Bonn N8 better

is to make signals pure and clear.

The result = jitter improvement

The quality of network signal from Bonn N8 is 90% better than that of a general switch in jitter measurements (lower is better).

The jitter of an off-the-shelf switch is as high as 705 ps, but a Bonn N8 is much lower at 369 ps
