Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch UEF MkII

Standard switches are designed for data throughput, often introducing electrical noise and jitter into the signal path. The UEF MkII is engineered specifically for audio, using electromagnetic cells to filter high-frequency interference and a linear power supply to ensure the clean, stable data transmission necessary for high-fidelity streaming.

The Ultra-Low Frequency (ULF) Biasing system works by replacing digital noise with harmonic resonance. This process is designed to smooth out the digital signal, resulting in a more natural, musical presentation rather than the sterile sound often associated with digital audio.

While the switch functions perfectly on its own, it includes a dedicated ground block connection to allow for further noise reduction. If you already use a grounding system in your setup, connecting the switch can help lower the noise floor even further for a quieter, more detailed background.

Yes, because the UEF MkII cleans the digital signal before it reaches your streamer or DAC, the benefits apply to any digital source connected through it. You should notice improvements in soundstage depth, tonal accuracy, and overall clarity regardless of the streaming platform.

The switch is fully compatible with standard Ethernet networks and devices. It acts as a plug-and-play component, so you can simply insert it between your router and your audio streamer without needing any special configuration.
