Description
The S10 is Melco’s flagship data switch and comprises a ‘head’ unit and a power unit, separating the sensitive data-carrying areas of the design from the power supply. The two-box approach echoes that of the N10/2 library, and offers the least compromise when it comes to ultimate sound quality.
The S10’s head unit is based on a heavily upgraded S100 network switch, and benefits from a greatly improved power management section, better aluminium casework and a rigid-steel screened chassis.
The rear panel connections include different-speed RJ45 Ethernet ports: 4x 100 MB and 4x 1 GB, plus 2x 1 GB SFP.
Features
- Two SFP ports allow for the connection of compatible optical fibre components, such as Lumin and Linn.
- A 1.5 MB of buffer capability to deal with erratic external connectivity, for a stable and resilient data stream.
- Audiophile techniques in the power supply with a bank of audio-grade capacitors to ensure the lowest noise environment.
- A rigid steel chassis with full aluminium casework.
