What is the English Electric 8Switch?

The English Electric 8Switch (a brand by The Chord Company) is a reference-grade, 8-port Gigabit Ethernet switch engineered exclusively to isolate high-end audio streaming systems from the severe electrical noise inherent in home computer networks. A common misconception in digital audio is that “data is just 1s and 0s,” ignoring the physical reality that these data packets are carried by electrical signals.

Standard IT switches use cheap power supplies and basic clocking mechanisms that inject massive amounts of High-Frequency (HF) noise, RFI, and jitter directly into your streamer’s delicate DAC via the Ethernet cable. The 8Switch solves this fundamental physical problem at the source. It features a customized, ultra-high-precision TCXO (Temperature Compensation Crystal Oscillator) clock with an astonishing 0.1ppm accuracy, virtually eliminating network jitter.

Housed in a heavy, resonance-damped machined aluminum enclosure with an integrated EMI absorber, and powered by a medical-grade external power supply, it acts as an impenetrable firewall against electrical pollution. The acoustic result is a dramatic reduction in “digital glare,” revealing a pitch-black background, sharper micro-dynamics, and a vastly more expansive, three-dimensional soundstage.

Eight audio grade 100/1000 Base-T gigabit Ethernet ports make it possible to connect even the most demanding streaming setups. Significant (ie. audible) improvements can be experienced in music playback via streaming services or music stored on a NAS.


The English Electric 8Switch features low and high electrical noise isolation, reducing data issues that can often be apparent during the playback of high-resolution material.

The machined aluminium enclosure offers excellent protection from both acoustic and electrical noise. The minimal LED display on the front panel includes power, alarm and the link status/speed for each of the 8 ports.
 
The AV-grade power adaptor has been designed to reduce electrical noise from AC power and prevent mains quality issues from affecting the network signals. It also boasts high power efficiency, a no-load power consumption < 0.075W and protection from short circuit, overload and over-voltage.
 
Switches require high speed power supplies so we could not opt for a linear power source due to their speed limitations. We set about improving the power signal by using an extremely high-quality wall supply. This clean supply permits an optimum quality network signal, driven by high-accuracy TCXO clock technology.
