System Structure
- TCXO clock (10MHz):
Eliminate irrelevant frequencies and generate pure clock. High precision, ultra low phase-noise signal output as the clock source for the Ethernet switch system. - Power source circuit for TCXO clock:
Power filter technology, it filtering out crosstalk and noises. Feeding the purified power to the TCXO module. - Power source circuit for switch system:
Low-noise voltage regulator circuit, capable of processing wide dynamic range power. Features highly-efficient circuit design and fast response time. - Exclusive, customized Silent Angel power module:
Wide dynamic range AC to DC power module. Stable, low-ripple noise, secure protection circuit, well-covered by an alumni heat sink. - AC power filter circuit:
High isolation common mode choke circuit for AC power input to prevent the noises pollution from AC power sources from other device or power system. - Connect to the optional linear power supply.
DC Jack for external 12V DC. - Receiving the external clock input port* (gold-plated, at 10MHz).
* Optional, this available on N8 PRO-CLK model only. - Internal/external clock selector switch.* Ultra-low-noise clock synthesizer (PLL clock generator).
* Optional, this available on N8 PRO-CLK model only.
Designed for HD Music Streaming
The Bonn N8 Pro creates a dedicated HiFi Network Zone to effectively isolate your audio devices from other digital traffic, thereby eliminating noise and transmitting data with extreme timing accuracy. Implementing an isolated “Network Ecosystem” for audio eliminates degradation from the storm of network interference and latency issues caused by bandwidth-intensive activities from PCs and other connected devices.
Exclusive Clock Module, TCXO: Silent Angel’s TCXO (Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator) is more precise than the Crystal Clocks found in other network switches, lowering latency issues and jitter effects.
Jitter Effect Improvement: Distortion is a common byproduct of transmitting high-frequency network packets. Bonn N8 Pro lowers jitter to 369ps whereas typical switches present at 705ps.
Optimized for Music Applications
- Optimized for Roon infrastructure; for example, supporting a network composed of Rhein Z1 as a Roon Core server or Munich M1 as a Roon Ready player.
- Optimized for high-resolution streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify and more.
- Optimized for playing music collections from NAS (Network Attached Storage). Works well with multiple brands including QNAP, Synology, WD NAS.
Let customers speak for us
The Bluesound Node Icon has been excellent performer all round. Very responsive to all my music streaming services, including the USB Thumbdrive I connected via the back of the unit.
I am so glad that Bluesound has retained its touch sensitive feature on the top, now I don’t get any fingerprint smudges all over the main screen which can be very irritating to look at. Its proximity sensor works great too.
Sounds great and delightful on my system which comprises a Rega Brio integrated amplifier and a pair Klipsch horn speakers.
Thank you Atlas S&V for the exceptional service and delivery.
Well made. Super sound. East to connect and setup. Not too big, but very heavy..
Nice craftsmanship, controls are straight-forward and easy to operate. And for such a small unit, it really sounds good.
Good pricing for this cable bundle but not sure why price was adjusted immediately after I made this purchase? Guess I was lucky to snap it at this price!
I have the Node N130 (2021) and just upgraded to the new Node Icon which is clearly a better performing streamer right out of the box. I had it running "elevator music" for about 2 days and the sound got even better. Definitely a good upgrade for anyone already into BLUOS and considering it. No regrets!
The AudioQuest HDMI Pearl 48 is a great choice for the PlayStation 5 Pro. It supports 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz resolutions with a 48Gbps bandwidth, ensuring smooth, high-quality gaming. Its solid build and excellent noise-dissipation provide reliable performance for both video and audio.
I have used this on my Mac laptop screens, my wife's iPad, our iPhones and my Apple Monitor. It's easy to apply and wipe off, and leaves no smudges. So I'm very happy with the product. Also useful is the included compact travel kit.
Previously my 805D3 using the basic nordost norse jumper it has very good highs but bass is not so much.... now after i brought this audioquest jumper ThunderBird...my 805D3 seems like a brand new speakers very punchy the bass and mids the bower's brightness really tone down...adding bass and more mids
Excellent DAC, Upgraded from Dragonfly Black. Heightened music experience.
The build quality and craftmanship are very good, the speakers look modern and the gold/brawn color looks atractive.
It is still too early to review the sound of this speaker as they need a month or two to show their real capability. However the initual sound impresion is they are transparent from top to bottom, the bass sounds light but it goes deep. I hope it wil improve later.
All in all Im happy with the purchase and also the delivery service of Atlas Sound & Vision Singapore.
Thank you 🙏
Very pleased with the cable performance. It is very transparent sounding. All the staff at Atlas ( Harper Road) are very helpful. I was served by a gentleman Mr Heng(iirc), he was very helpful.
Its been really tough going to work because Id much rather WFH and have my favourite artists singing their songs right in front of me (the soundstage is tha good) Also, all other brands should take note of their Connect app implementation, cuz its the best I've ever seen in any consumer device
