Reviews
Stereonet had this to say about Nordost QNET
"The vexing thing about electrical noise in hi-fi systems is that you don’t realise it’s there until you remove it. With Nordost’s new QNET in place, everything sounds smoother and more fluid; it’s better balanced with less harshness. The leading edges of notes seem to be sharper and have more energy, giving the system greater dynamic expression. It’s certainly expensive for what it is, but it yields very real and positive benefits.
There’s nothing ‘snake oil’ about this– it identifies a key problem in the digital audio signal chain and seeks to solve it. Data is, of course, data, but that’s not actually the question; instead, it’s the way that the data is transmitted that’s the issue here, and the QNET ensures it has a fighting chance of reaching its destination on time and with as little noise as possible. To my ears, this is the best product of its type that I've heard by a large margin – and is capable of improving your digital audio system’s sound in ways that you might not have guessed. Highly recommended, then, for high-end networked systems". STEREONET
