This is a great network switch for audio applications and the F1 linear power supply results in improvements that are more apparent with some recordings than with others. Priced at £400 for the N8 switch or £800 with the F1 linear PSU, for the money it’s definitely a winner.

In the end, the three test products(Silent Angel N8, M1T, F1) successfully deal with any kind of noise. And in fact it is not necessary to use them all at the same time, since each can be used separately, this allowing the buyer to make the optimal combination according to his needs.

I feel the Munich M1 is very competitive at its price point. For those who don’t need the headphone stage and internal DAC, the M1 T transport-only version is £300 less. At first acquaintance, the Forester F1 power supply does seem expensive, until you consider it can also power the Bonn N8 switch simultaneously with a Munich streamer.

I dare to say that this influence is very noticeable. In addition, its scale can be easily compared to the progress brought by the replacement of the plug-in impulse by the Forester. However, while the power supply improved the dynamics, resolution and color saturation, the "kaskada aniołków" increased the volume and added weight to the testing.

Silent Angel supplies a switch that has become popular in the Netherlands, for which the brand has now developed an upgrade itself in the form of the Forester F1 power supply. I cannot explain the improvement in rendering in almost all areas, let alone measure it, but I can clearly observe it. In short, if you are happy with the Silent Angel Bonn N8 Ethernet switch and want to take your streaming audio system a step further, consider the Silent Angel Forester F1.

The Silent Angel Bonn N8 is a real asset to any modern audio systems. I hope that this type of sound tuning will gain more acceptance in the future. Because the gain in musicality that this switch offers is sometimes stronger than expensive cables in my system could offer. The N8 also looks attractive, can certainly be shown as a component in the hi-fi rack and is very clear proof that digital streams offer potential for optimization.

We're talking about Roon. From our point of view, this software for music management and playback is a big hit. And for Roon users, the Silent Angel Rhein Z1 music server could be just as awesome. It is easy to set up, reliable in operation and has a great sound.

Even within the first few notes of the track Bonn N8 have effectively increased the degree of resolution and the level of detail. And I am not talking about small increments.

The Silent Angel Rhein Z1 V2 was absolutely perfect. It happily passed through DSD256 to my DAC, which confirmed that the original signal was being received. And it sounded perfect.

On the one hand, it's an open sound. There is room here for a lot of treble, for cymbals etc. On the other, it does not allow strong sibilants to dominate the performance, and if the upper midrange in vocals is too strong, as in Holiday's voice, it smooths it out. The lower part of the band is powerful and large, which gives the recordings a very good sense of scale and creates an impression of communing with real instruments, not their toy versions. It's just a very nicely organized sound presentation. With the Rhein Z1 one will be able to listen to any album with pleasure - whether it comes from a disc or streaming service. Good job Silent Angel!

The Rhein Z1's background noise is quieter than others, it reduces the noise and makes the details are sharper. The most important thing is that these details are not emphasized to become the "high-definition feeling" that is hated by traditional music lovers. Rhein Z1 is indeed high analytical power and high definition, but the primary and secondary arrangements reasonable, natural sound, and sufficient texture and thickness, so it will not appear thin sound, highlighting details, intolerance, and other problems.

I found the Silent Angel Bonn N8 to sound 15-20% better overall than the D-Link DGS-1008A, in some ways maybe not much. (The clarity of the sound stage + the independence of the sound) As for the clear aspect, there is the cleanliness of the sound throughout the area. especially the squeal with the texture of the sound that was observed to be more intense and the other part is the stillness of the sound This results in a more accurate rhythm of the song's style as well.

What really fascinates me is the formidable growth in three dimensions of the stereo image, a pair of used speakers lagged far behind with the Linksys SE2800/iFi iPower and revived with the Bonn N8. The extra details you get, the calmness in the reproduction, the bass with extra definition, bonus points for any good system where streaming is the main focus.

Compared to the usual network switches, it is these innovations and creative technologies that make the Bonn N8 stand out from the crowd. According to sales, the resulting improvements can actually be measured. Compared to standard devices, signals from the Silent Angel Bonn N8 network switch have 90 percent less jitter. Time errors in the audio-video signal are therefore a thing of the past.

If I compare the Aqvox SE to the Bonn N8, there are indeed differences, but they do not outweigh the additional cost. Differences are, for example, precision, clarity and transparency which the Aqvox has a little more compared to the Silent Angel, but the Aqvox loses ground when it comes to stereo image, greatness and fun. Believe no one, not the pros and not the opponents of Ethernet improvements, trust your ears and will the Silent Angel Bonn N8 is one of the best investments in your streaming network ever. Lexicom MultiMedia puts its hand into the Ethernet for this.
