Nordost QNET network switch for audiophiles
Barnsly Sound Org. announced the release of the Nordost QNET Ethernet switch for audiophiles. The manufacturer notes that now the most demanding of them use remote digital signal sources, that is, the data for playback comes over the network. However, according to Nordost, “standard home network switches designed to connect computers, televisions and other home appliances,” when incorporated into high-end music systems, “introduce a variety of interference into the sound of perfectly matched and musically tuned systems.”
According to the manufacturer, the QNET network switch is a completely different matter. It is specially designed completely from the ground up to deliver high quality sound. QNET uses “high-speed, resistance-controlled multilayer circuitry that optimizes signal paths and minimizes reflections, interference and crosstalk.” Also mentioned is “an extremely low noise and stable oscillator for the main clock, providing minimal jitter and phase noise.” The switch has six separate power supplies “that provide uninterrupted power to all internal components.”
The switch is housed in a “rugged and reliable aluminum case” that serves as a heat sink and shield, and also “minimizes crosstalk” between ports. As for the ports themselves, three of them conform to the 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps) specification, and two ports conform to the 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps) specification. It is these two ports that the manufacturer recommends to use for connecting main audio servers / players or external sources, since “only at this speed is internal noise cancellation possible.”
The switch comes with an AC adapter, but “for best results” it is recommended that you use a Nordost QSOURCE line source for power and Nordost Ethernet cables for connecting to other components.
The dimensions of the device are 165 x 34.25 mm. The first shipment of switches is expected this spring. The source does not quote the price.
Realme is preparing to release a budget smartphone Realme C67 4G. Judging by the promotional materials, it will take on thinness and color.

Even the inexpensive Samsung Galaxy A25 will have an AMOLED screen and a camera with optical stabilization
The parameters of the Samsung Galaxy A25 5G smartphone, which should be presented in the foreseeable future, have appeared on the Internet.
The design of the smartphone will not surprise you, although in this case Samsung will try to focus on color options.
The device will have a fairly wide frame, a drop-shaped notch and a triple main camera with a main sensor with a resolution of 50 megapixels. Interestingly, this sensor will have optical stabilization.
The new product will also receive a battery with the usual capacity of 5000 mAh, a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution, 8/256 GB of memory (probably in the older version), SoC Exynos 1280, and dimensions will be 161 x 76.5 x 8 .3 mm.
Portable batteries with a capacity of 20,000 mAh are usually quite large and heavy. But Urbn has created the smallest battery of this capacity on the market.
The Nano model has dimensions of 108 x 69 x 28 mm and weighs 293 g. It supports 22.5 W charging and has USB-A ports and a pair of USB-C. It takes five hours to charge the element itself, but in half an hour half the capacity is gained.
The manufacturer talks about 12 protection systems and support for many standards, including PD 3.0, VOOC, Dahs, QC 3.0 and so on.
The manufacturer also has a Nano model with a capacity of 10,000 mAh and dimensions of 53 x 87 x 30 mm and a weight of 173 g.
The younger model costs $18, and the older one costs $30.
