For a limited time Collin Shin CEO of Waversa Systems is allowing Waversa North America to offer new factory sealed units at distributor pricing plus import duty. These sales are limited to USA and Canada markets only as an introduction to their product line.

Units are offered with 30 day money back guarantee, minus shipping costs. Always audition gear to ensure it is right for your system.

The Waversa Smart Hub has four internal Lithium-Polymer batteries where the Ethernet and USB hubs are isolated from both the external power supply and each other. This eliminates the need for an external linear power supply. The battery bank has two designated batteries for each hub and is monitored continuously, automatically switching to the newly charged battery and recharging the depleted battery. The manufacturer predicts a Lithium battery lifespan greater than 2 years; therefore, there is no need to turn off the Smart Hub when not in use.

Like all Waversa products the Smart Hub is easily serviced by the end user, allowing battery replacement when appropriate. If both batteries are discharged, the hub automatically seamlessly switches to the external DC input and recharge both banks simultaneously. Also, if the DC power supply is disconnected, the battery packs discharge sequentially.

To further decrease cross contamination, the Smarthub is designed with three independent CPU’s. Ultra low power micro controller processes the signal while external DC input is disconnected. Micro controller for front panel is completely isolated preventing contamination by extraneous noise produced from LED display. Also the LED’s used to display data movement in generic Ethernet switches is eliminated altogether. Finally, ARM AP is the fifth Ethernet port and is internal. This controls the user interface, allows automatic IP assignment by the router and firmware updates.

The USB hub is placed between the server and the DAC while the Ethernet is placed between the NAS/Network and the Server/Renderer. The incoming signal current is isolated, while the data is translated to codes and generate new packets of data sent to different ports where each port has filters to eliminate noise. Total of 16 filters are in place to accommodate the 4 Ethernet ports. By removing this extraneous electrical noise the sharp edge often noted in high frequency audio signal no longer is present giving the overall impression associated with a vinyl system.

All digital signals, be it over LAN, USB or I2S, has rising edge and falling edge and is based on master clock. If master clock is not accurate then rising and falling edge is not a constant distance and this variation, also known as jitter, causes high frequency noise. If clock is accurate enough and supply power is clean then hub regenerated digital signal does not contains wide spread noise. Waversa uses its own proprietary MEMS clock that is over spec for the Ethernet and USB communication. This is the same clock used in the DAC3, thus creating an ideal pairing of components, creating a certain synergy that has been unanimously commended by those who auditioned them.

Questions for the seller
I'm intrigued.... the biggest problem is adding the 2 extra (expensive) cables to put this in the middle --ethernet to Aurender and usb to Audio Alchemy. Has it been reviewed? Link?
Their DAC3 has been reviewed. There is a Korean review under hificlub kr (korea) and use google translate. I have not come across any formal reviews. What impresses me most about Waversa is the over engineering. Like Tesla their products are continually evolving, and update by internet. Their DAC3 has more settings, more filters, now able to stream ROON, next month will increase 2xDSD to 4xDSD all with firmware updates. Build quality is quite impressive. Regarding cables, Waversa sells excellent cables at nominal pricing. The USB signal from the Aurender I bet is very clean. I am uncertain if re-clocking and filtering the signal will improve sound. In your situation cleaning up the signal to the Aurender will be most beneficial.
So could streaming video benefit from this as well... say before my Oppo or Smart TV? Can I hook up the Ethernet to my Music streamer, smart tv and Oppo all on this 1 unit?
Yes, Absolutely improves image quality. This is exactly what I do. The other item that was very helpful for video was VH Audio Plasmatron 6A unit. --I have no affiliation with them.
