M12 SWITCH GOLD is a new breakthrough in high-end network playback. 🎵

A dedicated precision switching hub that brings the world of network audio into a completely different stage.

It's more than a tweak. If you're thinking about upgrading your DAC, I'd consider this set instead as the improvement is bigger than getting a DAC that cost twice as much compared to the one that you already use. I've been trying various switches in the past, but only this one brings a real improvement. 

 

Info for JCAT NET Card FEMTO owners: this switch+cables set brings 10x of the improvement coming from the NET Card FEMTO. Even if you already have 2 cards. Both can coexist in the system. 

 

BR, 

Marcin

Everything is very nice but not affordable. Why don't you guys think of a more affordable version of that switch.

The reason I am asking is because SOtM have already released their audio grade switch.

SOtM sNH-10 (that's the basic switch) around 1000 EUR

SOtM sNH-10+ sCLK-EX1 (10mHz master clock) around 2000 EUR.

Does it make sense to put these new switch between Control- and Audio-PC when both PCs have already a JCat Femto NIC?

System doesn’t matter - if you have mine.

Yes, it has a profound effect even with 2x NET Cards.

Hi Guys

Bit of feedback for owners of the M12 Gold switch.
Marcin did mention this to me before but I ignored him ... doh always a mistake.

I just isolated the M12 Gold up on 3 isolators, not my best ones as they are all on use but still good ones and holy shit.

If you own the switch or you demo one you MUST think about its vibration isolation as it doubles the difference it makes which is astonishing :)
