The French company Totaldac has\u00a0announced\u00a0the Totaldac d1-switch Ethernet switch.\u00a0So far, there is not much data about it – it is known that the case of the novelty corresponds in size and design to the well-known models of the company, although Totaldac suggested using the d1-switch not only for them.<\/p>\n

Vincent Brient of Totaldac said, “The d1 is designed to enhance the sound of network-connected digital sources, making the sound more natural for both local files and Internet streaming.”<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the developer has assigned its own functions to each of the three RJ45 connectors on the rear panel of the novelty.\u00a0One of them is the router input for connecting to the local network.\u00a0But the other one was recommended for NAS, server or Roon Core device like Totaldac d1 player.\u00a0The third is the streamer input.\u00a0Of the Totaldac products, d1-streamer-mk2 was recommended.<\/p>\n

\n
According to the manufacturer, a proprietary Ethernet cable\/filter will work for all connections. The D1-switch is equipped with a Totaldac live power supply.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The appearance of new items on sale is expected in the spring.\u00a0In Europe, Totaldac d1-switch<\/a> will cost 4,200 euros without VAT.<\/p>\n
