About the NuPrime SW-9X
The NuPrime SW-9X is an 8-port gigabit audiophile network switch with a low-noise power supply, AC filtering, common-mode active noise cancellation and a 25MHz TCXO clock. It shares the 235mm-wide chassis of NuPrime's 9 Series and has a BNC input for an external 25MHz clock. At HiFi Boutique it ships free anywhere in the USA, with sales tax already included.
Why Choose the SW-9X
The SW-9X reduces the electrical noise that ordinary network switches pass to a streamer. Its common-mode active noise cancellation detects noise on the power line and generates an opposite-phase signal to cancel it. NuPrime's Power Engine supply, an AC filter and a common-mode choke clean the power further.
A temperature-compensated 25MHz crystal oscillator gives the switch a more stable clock than the oscillators in typical switches, to reduce jitter. Port spacing is set to reduce interference between connections, and you can turn the port LEDs off.
