    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    I am still deciding between SR Pink or SR Master as a fuse upgrade to the NA Tempus. But most likely it will be the SR Master.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Well for sure this is not an area very obvious for many, but offers a nice potential. There is a video and audio files to download at the end of page https://www.synergisticresearch.com/fuses/master-fuse/ for comparison (and this is just between these two). Many dealers lend you some or you have...

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    I also wonder how much of a difference there is between QSA and the Synergistic Research Master or new Pink fuse?

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Speaker lifters provide a benefit, as does your device used especially for the main wall-plug, most of the time feeding a power conditioner etc. So happy experimenting and glad to see you are enjoying the Tempus.

    QSA RED

    Did someone try upgrading a QSA to a streamer, switch etc and if they impacted sound also that massive than QSA in an amp or DAC?

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    A very important question is at what stage a fuse provides the best overall impact. meaning does a better fuse in an amp have the same impact as used in a streamer or switch. What are your experiences?

    Has someone also changed/upgraded the fuse of the Tempus?

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Well @Superdad / SJ who is developing switches as well as fiber media converters can tell you more about the limits of it and unfortunately a few problems/areas are not touched by it.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Well the iFi iPower Elite is a really already a very good power supply! I compared it to a few other power supplies and for the usage of the router it was the best so far (along with an Audioquest Monsoon power cord). But I know how committed Network Acoustics is (and there products made a...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    That is exciting news @Network Acoustics !! I am also highly interested as I know what major improvements the Muon Pro streaming system and Tempus brought to my system. Currently using a FritzBox router with an iFi iPower Elite but I know this segment in the network environment is essential as...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    I also used the ER with max upgraded Farad Super3 along with a Sonore Optical Module Deluxe V2 (also with max. upgraded Super3) - and all with Audioquest Monsoon power cord on a Audioquest Niagara 5000. Still was no comparison to the Tempus. Also tried the Tempus via the SFP and the OM D V2...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    That’s what I also appreciate very much about the Tempus that you get a carefree/all incl. package. No worries about power supply or DC cable (both is already reference level and tailored), you get 1GB/s, 100mb/s slots as well as SFPs. To go up another notch there is also the Muon Pro streaming...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    I was one of the first to receive the Etherregen and it is a fantastic device (used it with all upgrades like SR Purple fuse and Furutech inlet as well as a Audioquest Monsoon power cord). Though comparing it to the Tempus showcased there is still a lot which can improve. Sure it’s a different...

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    When developing the Tempus NA has been evaluating all current top switches. And they put years of research in it. I can absolutely agree on the Hifi-advice review that the power supply not only plays a vital role, rather it’s even best when it’s completely individually developed for the sole...

    Stack Audio SmoothLAN ethernet isolation filter

    This sums it up quite perfectly I would say. Also how it compares to ENO and others.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Great decision! You will definitely hear an improvement. I also had the PhoenixNet and a number of other switches, but the Tempus stood out in making the music more natural, flowing, analog like - yet providing such a level of detail and an insight into music.

    Network Acoustics Muon Pro Review

    Well you should try a more recent generation. The ENO was the very first approach, in the meantime there is ENO2 which is much advanced or at a different level the Muon Pro. Maybe one or your friends can share one of those for testing.

    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Yes I use both, Tempus and Muon Pro streaming system. As mentioned in the review every step, improvement is replicable - solely Tempus, adding Muon Pro filter and then also streaming system. I have compared it to a number of switches and also fiber solutions but it provided the best overall...

    iFi Audio LAN iSilencer - The Official Thread

    Having tested various filters in a few different setups I can say the iFi LAN iSilencer is a great entry product into the segment of Ethernet filters. And it’s also great that more people can experience on their own with very little budget what impact an Ethernet filter will have on your setup...

    Network Acoustics Muon Pro Review

    I am like others for about 20 years into digital audio. So have been able to explore the impact of various elements like power supply, network setup, noise filtering etc over the years. And skepticism is justified in today’s industry as so many copy-cats are out there or just claiming something...
