Silent Angel N8
Silent Angel N8 Audiophile Ethernet Switch is a highly acclaimed audiophile Ethernet switch which will bring the best out of streamed music.
By improving power signal quality and network signal quality via TCXO technology, Silent Angel N8 improves the network signal quality. There are 8 high quality gigabit Ethernet ports, which make it possible to connecting to network ports on all audio devices at once. The network signal quality cleaned-up by the N8, introducing significant improvement in music streaming playback through streaming service or NAS.
Silent Angel customized TCXO (Temperature Compensation crystal Oscillator) is highly accurate. The accuracy is 0.1ppm, which is much higher than normal crystal and higher than a normal TCXO. With this TCXO, N8 is able to generate a more accurate network signal and provide more stable music data transmission.
Improved Main Board Design
Two electrical noise isolation circuits, with noise rejection rated at 17dB for the power circuit.
Two electrical noise isolation circuits, with noise rejection rate 20dB, for clock generation circuit.
These noise isolation circuit ensures N8 to work in stable state, and as a result, it generates stable network signals.
High Permeability EMI Absorber
To further reduce noise from digital circuits, N8 has special chosen an EMI absorber at the inner side of bottom case to absorb the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) from the inner digital circuit and make the network signal and clock circuit more stable and clear. Ensure N8 works more stable and generate cleaner network signals.

The Silent Angel N8 switch has made a real difference to the streamed sound quality as well as benefitting the stability of the signal. Audiologica’s service was excellent with the product with me the next day. Can’t fault anything!

Very dubious about buying this item but after reading a couple of reviews online I thought I would take the plunge and buy. So glad I did! There is a lot of snake oil in this industry, and I have been bitten by this a couple of times but this was not one of them. If you are running a cheap Ethernet switch for audio only then this will improve sound quality.
Can’t fault the service of this company. Will definitely shop with them again!
