AUDIOPHILE NETWORK SWITCHES

NazaréNET, Next-Gen NET, NET3, NET1

Our NET products are designed to ensure the network becomes a transparent part of the audio system rather than a source of unwanted electrical noise. Purpose-built for high-end audio, it provides an ultra-clean, stable network connection that preserves the integrity of the digital signal before it reaches the music server or streamer. By isolating the audio system from interference generated elsewhere on the home network, NET creates the ideal foundation for exceptional digital playback.

Built around a low-noise architecture with precision clocking, dedicated power regulation and advanced network isolation, NET allows every downstream component to perform at its full potential. The result is greater clarity, focus and musical realism, revealing more of the performance while letting the rest of the system operate in the quietest possible electrical environment.

An Audiophile Network Switch has become an essential device for anyone who is passionate about streaming music and wants to take sound quality to previously unheard levels. Quieter networks, clearer music.

Nazaré-grade power architecture: Built around the same advanced power supply technology developed for the flagship NAZARÉ music server, combining custom multifilar transformers, proprietary GaN-ARC8 rectification, and ultra-low-noise DC4 regulation to deliver exceptionally clean, stable power throughout the switch.

Purpose-built for audio performance: Unlike conventional networking hardware, the custom WaveNET architecture features four independent DC4 regulated power rails, isolating the clock, analogue and digital circuitry to minimize electrical noise and maximize signal integrity.

Precision engineering from chassis to clock: A high-stability 3ppb OCXO clock, advanced SmartStack vibration control, resonance-optimized aluminium chassis, and premium isolation work together to reduce jitter and preserve timing accuracy for a more natural, detailed musical presentation.

Optimized for the cleanest network signal: An integrated Finisar SFP fibre connection provides superior electrical isolation, while intelligent firmware and Sense app integration minimize internal activity and allow advanced network optimization for the lowest possible noise floor.

High-end Audiophile Network Switch: Engineered for premium-level streamers, the Next-Gen NET continues our evolution of Network performance with further improvements to power and chassis design.
WaveNET Board: Trickled down from the top-end NazaréNET, Next-Gen NET uses our exclusive WaveNET board and builds upon the NET3 implementation through improved power regulation and SmartStack vibration control.
Next-Gen Power Supply: With a 300VA transformer and ARC6 active rectification to match the ZENith Next-Gen, Next-Gen NET increases to four CX Regulator modules for fully independent powering both digital and analogue components.
SmartStack Vibration Control: Unique to the Next-Gen range and derived from the flagship NAZARÉ, the NET benefits from advanced SmartStack vibration control to sensitive transformers, dramatically reducing parasitic noise. The asymmetric chassis design makes it a perfect match to stack with STATEMENT and other Next-Gen devices including ZEN, ZENith and FLOW.

Network Switch for Enthusiasts: NET3 is an audiophile network switch that perfectly matches our STREAM3, advancing performance from both NET1 and PhoenixNET with improved power supply and chassis engineering.
TwinCX Regulation: NET3 introduces an internal Linear Power Supply with Mundorf capacitors and twin CX Power Regulator modules, delivering clean power to the critical 3ppb OCXO clock and WaveNET board.
WaveNET Board: Trickled down from the top-end NazaréNET, NET3 utilizes our exclusive WaveNET board including SFP Fibre and customised firmware for ultra-low noise control.
STREAM3 Chassis: Vibration damping feet, toroidal isolation and a full-width 10mm CNC-machined aluminium chassis ensure system noise and interference is kept to a minimum, whilst designed as a perfect visual match to the STREAM3 streamer | server.

Audiophile Network Switch: Designed in-house from the ground up, the NET1 sets a new level of entry point into Innuos network switches, housed in a compact yet premium form factor.
Premium. Proven. PhoenixNET platform: NET1 benefits from the same successful custom-built low-noise board and 3ppb OCXO clock architecture of the award-winning PhoenixNET.
Upgradeable: Take performance even further by adding the LPS1 power supply to provide clean regulated power and bring the NET1 to its full sonic potential.
Front-end Stack: NET1 is designed to perfectly match the STREAM1 and LPS1 to form a three-piece stack that can be built up over time, resulting in a high-quality streaming stack.

1. What is the difference between STREAM1 and STREAM3?

The STREAM3 builds on the STREAM1 with a similar feature set but benefits from a superior power supply for a significant step up in sound quality and is still an improvement over the LPS1 also. It has a more substantial chassis for shielding and vibration control, and due to its larger size can accommodate a wider range of output modules including the PhoenixI2S board and the PhoenixDAC.

2. Are these streamers, or servers?

Both – the modular nature of the internal storage, digital output modules or analog output modules allow many variations or combinations for the product to be a music server, a digital network player, or fully integrated streamer for direct connection to an amplifier. Tailor the system to what you want it to be

3. How does ZEN Next-Gen series improve over STREAM series?

ZEN Next-Gen and STREAM offer the same Sense app experience and overall features, but ZEN Next-Gen delivers superior sound with a more advanced power supply, PreciseAudio mainboard, and enhanced chassis. It also has more processing power to allow AudioCore technology and handles larger libraries with dual SSDs.

4. How does STREAM series differ from earlier Innuos products?

STREAM series carries on the successful legacy of ZEN Mk3 music servers and PULSE network players and combines them into a versatile, single product thanks to its flexible modular design. With the latest generation in design and premium components, our gateway product range sounds and performs better than ever.

5. Can I still rip CDs?

Yes! Our powerful CD ripping engine is still available in Sense app, you simply need to add a USB optical drive of your choice and make sure there is internal storage fitted in your system. This will behave just as if it were an internal CD ripper from our earlier products with the same automated process, and choice of FLAC or WAV ripping.

6. Which output module is right for me?

The best output module is the one that makes the most sense for your current system, and our modular design means that you can change your optimal output type in the future if your HiFi setup changes. We offer internal DAC modules for direct connection to amplifiers or powered speakers, and a variety of digital output modules to cater for what is best suited to your DAC.

7. What are the upgrade paths for the STREAM series?

Besides the output module and SSD bay which can be taken advantage of over time, the STREAM1 can be improved further with two add-on devices to form a STREAM1 ‘stack’. These are the partnering NET1 audiophile network switch, and the LPS1 power supply upgrade which is cable of powering and improving both the STREAM1 and NET1 simultaneously thanks to its dual power outputs.

The STREAM3 already benefits from a built-in high-end power supply but can be improved further with the addition of an audiophile network switch. The NET3 network switch is designed to perfectly partner the STREAM3, comprehensively addressing the network input stage using trickled-down engineering from our flagship NazaréNET.
