For the more affluent, the S1 could be duplicated to use one as a pure Internet switch and the other as a network transport &#8211; an expensive and complex solution, now simplified with the new N1 switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still based on the components and circuits developed by the Polish engineer, the XACT N1 incorporates some elements from his OEM brand JCAT, integrated in a smaller case than the S1. Linear power supply is thus derived from an OPTIMO N1 toroidal transformer filtered by two capacitor sections, connected by cables to a second circuit on which are arranged five RJ45 Ethernet ports -one of those galvanically isolated- and one SFP fiber port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signal is handled by a processor and a network chip, and controlled by an OXCO ultra-low-noise clock powered by its own current section. Launched this month, the XACT N1 is a top-of-the-range audiophile switch, priced at 6 000 \u20ac incl. VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>07\/05\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_04_27_Xact-infographics_XACT-N1_schemat-podlaczen-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_04_27_Xact-infographics_XACT-N1_schemat-podlaczen-01.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_04_27_Xact-infographics_XACT-N1_schemat-podlaczen-01-1280x456.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_04_27_Xact-infographics_XACT-N1_schemat-podlaczen-01-980x349.jpg 980w, https:\/\/vumetre.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025_04_27_Xact-infographics_XACT-N1_schemat-podlaczen-01-480x171.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1920px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discovered with the S1 streamer, XACT is the hardware counterpart to the JPlay software created by the engineer Marcin Ostapowicz.
