Built for systems where that last bit of quiet decides between good and truly good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Bonn N8C?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N8C takes the idea behind the Bonn N8 and turns two more dials: resonance and noise filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-precision TCXO clock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimizes jitter in the data stream, so the soundstage stays stable and tangible instead of flickering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelected noise filters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep electrical noise from the router out more consistently, giving you a blacker background and more calm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight shielded Gigabit ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e The connections are routed so the data streams interfere with each other less.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResonance-optimized housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbs mechanical vibration, keeping the sensitive clock electronics working stably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared directly with the standard model, the N8C improves separation: instruments sit more clearly next to each other, imaging becomes more precise, and the fine texture of piano or strings in particular comes through more clearly. The effect is fine-tuning, not a thunderclap, but easy to follow on a resolving system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Bonn N8C for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N8C is built for the serious, high-resolution system, for example with upmarket floorstanding speakers, where every detail in the background counts. \u003cstrong\u003eHonestly:\u003c\/strong\u003e if your system is already voiced dark or is fairly compact, the N8C won't suddenly reveal new heights. In that case the Bonn N8 is entirely enough, and you're better off putting the saved budget into speakers or the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bonn N8C is fine-tuning for perfectionists, the N8 is the sensible buy. If you own a fully resolved system and want to banish the last bit of digital roughness, this is the one. Whether the extra cost is worth it for your specific setup is something we'll tell you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, without any sales pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfaces: 8 x 1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet, shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClock: Custom TCXO, 0.1 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing: Coated metal, resonance-optimized, EMI-shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower consumption: max. 5 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: 0 to 35 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 155 × 26 × 85 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: Bonn N8C, external power supply, network cable, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference to the Bonn N8?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe N8C offers more elaborate mechanical damping and further improved filtering of electrical interference. Both share the identical TCXO clock. The N8C is therefore the first choice for very high-resolution systems, the N8 the entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to change anything on my router?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the N8C works transparently. Cable from the router into the switch, connect your hi-fi devices too, done. No configuration is needed, the device blends invisibly into your existing network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich network cable fits best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though the switch absorbs a lot, you'll benefit from well-shielded CAT7 or CAT8 cables. We recommend fitting at least the short run from switch to streamer with quality cable, that's where quality pays off most directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Bonn N8C at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we know from practice in which system the extra cost of the N8C really pays off, and when the N8 is enough.
