shielded and protected by a dual-layer
braided shield. This construction minimizes
crosstalk and external noise, preserving the
integrity of music files whether the cable is
used with a NAS drive, streamer, or server. Its
shielded 8P8C/RJ45 connectors prevent any
loss from being incurred during transmission.
The Blue Heaven 3 Ethernet Cable is now
available at select Nordost dealers, worldwide.

The QNET7 is a Layer-2 ethernet switch,
designed from the ground up to maximize
audio performance and eliminate noise for
high speed, digital transmission. It not only
improves sound staging and 3D imaging but
also transforms the bass response through the
further separation of low frequencies. The
QNET7 has seven ports, oering
10/100/1000BASE-T (1 Gbps), 100BASE-TX
(100 Mbps), and 1000BASE-LX/SX
(802.3z-1998 (CL3B)) SFP capability.

The new QNET7 is equipped with nine
independent, ultra-low noise power supplies
which minimize cross-contamination and
ensure clean, interference-free operation.
Compatible with Nordost's QSOURCE, the
QNET7 is expected to be the centerpiece of
any high-end streaming setup. The QNET7
will be available later this year for worldwide
distribution with Nordost dealers, with a
suggested retail price of $5,499.99.
