{"product_id":"kecesewave","title":"KECES Ewave Audio Network Switch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe KECES Ewave is an audio-grade network switch: an 8-port gigabit switch with a precision clock and cleanly separated power circuits that calms the digital data stream for your streaming chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of just any office switch, this device sits between your router and streamer, optimised for timing and low interference rather than data throughput. Supplied as a single unit with a basic power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the KECES Ewave?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a normal switch is built for IT data, where tiny timing errors don't matter – with audio streaming, they can make the sound flatter and more nervous. The Ewave uses a temperature-stabilised 25 MHz OCXO clock, separate power supplies for chip, clock and ports, plus individually switchable sockets and audio prioritisation (QoS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA calmer, more stable digital background: more precise timing of data packets, less interference, more order in the chain. The heavy aluminium housing provides additional shielding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Ewave suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlain talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e if you only listen to internet radio occasionally, you'll hardly notice the difference. If you stream high-resolution content via Roon, TIDAL or Qobuz, however, the Ewave gives you a stable anchor for the digital chain. At 4 kg, it needs a fixed spot – not a device dangling behind the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power supply does the Ewave need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 V DC \/ 1 A. For maximum performance, we recommend running it from a KECES linear power supply such as the P6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tool for perfectionists of the digital chain: precision timing and clean power routing instead of office technology.

The Ewave reduces jitter via its OCXO clock and keeps interference away from the signal through separate power circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the QoS function do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt prioritises audio packets on the network so that a simultaneous download on another device doesn't disrupt your music stream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the KECES Ewave from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a device like this only makes sense in a properly set-up network.
