About the Innuos Net3 Audiophile Network Switch

Product Description

The Innuos NET3 is the perfect partner for the STREAM3, and represents a new high-end audiophile switch to take your digital music replay to even higher levels of performance.

NET3 is an enthusiast-level network switch built to match the STREAM3. It shares the same full-sized chassis and power supply philosophy, bringing a new level of coherence to your system.

The WaveNET board, trickled down from the flagship NazaréNET, introduces fibre connectivity and greater isolation from the noise modern networks carry. Technology from the very top of the Innuos range, now accessible to more listeners.

NET3 is where enthusiast systems find their network foundation.

Highlights

– Enthusiast-level network switch for premium streamers

– NET3 is the natural successor to our acclaimed PhoenixNET

– CNC-machined aluminium chassis to perfectly match the STREAM3

– WaveNET board with SFP port trickled down from the NazaréNET

– Independent power regulators to OCXO clock and WaveNET board

Innuos meticulously crafts extraordinary hi-fi experiences, blending the finest European expertise with premium materials. Close collaboration and high-quality components come in from partners in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and USA.

Circuit boards are designed and built in-house. Mainboard is highly customised allowing low-level control. Custom-designed, premium fascia and chassis are also tailored for higher performance.

Each product is then expertly handcrafted at our Faro headquarters in the Algarve, where artisanal craftsmanship meets uncompromising attention to detail in our temperature and humidity-controlled ESD production lab. The result? A sonic experience that transcends expectation—pure, immersive, and deeply moving.

TwinCX Power Regulation

Precision starts with power, and NET3 gives its most sensitive circuits their own dedicated, low-noise power rails.

Designed in collaboration with Dr Sean Jacobs and built around a large, low-impedance toroidal transformer and premium Mundorf capacitors, the TwinCX Power Regulation Module provides two independent, low-noise power rails for the critical OCXO clock and WaveNET components.

The precision OCXO clock is the timing heartbeat of the switch. Its dedicated power supply and complete electrical isolation ensure it operates in an exceptionally quiet environment.

The WaveNET board is the main processing hub of the system, sitting at the heart of the signal path between the clock and the sensitive network transceivers. The CX regulator provides it with a clean, isolated power supply, helping to maintain a low-noise environment for critical signal reception and transmission.

WaveNET Board

WaveNET brings purpose-built audio engineering to the heart of the network switch.

Derived from our flagship NazaréNET, the WaveNET board is not adapted from conventional networking hardware. It is purpose-built for high-fidelity audio, designed in-house from the ground up.

Its ultra-low-noise philosophy governs every aspect of the design, from component selection to circuit layout. By addressing sources of electrical interference at the design level, WaveNET is engineered to maintain exceptional network signal integrity, going far beyond the requirements of conventional consumer and enterprise networking hardware.

This is where engineering meets listening — where careful attention to the smallest details is designed to translate into audible gains.

OCXO Clock

In digital audio, precision timing is fundamental to preserving signal integrity.

NET3 employs a proven, high-precision OCXO clock, powered by its own dedicated supply to provide an exceptionally stable, low-jitter timing reference.

Rather than relying on an external 10MHz reference clock, NET3 places its 25MHz, 3ppb OCXO directly adjacent to the switch chip itself. This avoids unnecessary PLL conversion stages and helps minimise jitter at the point where timing accuracy matters most.

Combined with further improvements to the power supply and chassis design, NET3 takes digital performance significantly further than our acclaimed first-generation network switch, PhoenixNET.

SFP Fibre Port

Fibre provides a simple way to break the electrical connection and isolate your audio network.

Alongside its four RJ45 ports, NET3 features an integrated SFP fibre connection, opening new possibilities for system configuration while providing a level of electrical isolation beyond conventional network connections.

By introducing fibre into the signal path, electrical continuity — and with it, a potential path for noise and interference — can be eliminated at critical points within the network. This helps create a cleaner, more controlled electrical environment for your audio system while maintaining network signal integrity.

Ultra-Low-Noise Operation & Sense Integration

Once configured, NET3 becomes effectively silent — both electrically and operationally.

Its custom firmware initialises the system before shutting down the onboard microprocessor completely, eliminating unnecessary processing activity and the associated electrical noise. The result is a network switch that performs its function without unnecessary activity during playback.

NET3 can also be optimised through the Sense app, allowing you to manage the operating speed of each individual port — and, with a future firmware update, disable unused ports altogether.

This is network infrastructure reduced to its purest form: nothing added, nothing disturbed.

Premium Chassis

A serious digital component deserves a chassis engineered to the same exacting standards as the electronics within.

Housed in a 10mm-thick, CNC-machined aluminium chassis, NET3 combines comprehensive vibration control with effective EMI shielding in an elegant, asymmetric design engineered to minimise standing-wave resonances.

The inclusion of a dedicated 4mm grounding terminal provides another option for managing unwanted electrical noise, potentially revealing even greater levels of detail.

The substantial, full-width enclosure is designed to perfectly complement our STREAM3 Music Streamer & Server, forming a comprehensive digital front-end stack. Its refined visual design and build quality also allow NET3 to integrate seamlessly with other high-end music streamers and further improve system performance.
