Designed from scratch with zero compromises, the XACT N1 sets a new standard in high-end network audio.
No rebranded IT parts. No shortcuts. Just pure sound — thanks to a custom motherboard fully linear power supply world’s first fully isolated 1Gbit Ethernet port made for audio.
Expect: Zero digital harshness Unmatched clarity & holography Audiophile-grade engineering from the inside out
Specification
100% custom motherboard developed exclusively for high-end music playback (100% linear powered motherboard)
optimo™ n1 linear power supply, 3 separate, galvanically isolated voltage rails power the main switch circuit, the system clock, and the isolated output individually.
1 × fully isolated 1 gbit rj45 port using state-of-the-art optoisolator, ensuring complete galvanic isolation of data lines, clock, control signals, and ground.
all ethernet ports feature low-noise, high common-mode noise rejection signal transformers, paired with military-spec jacks to ensure long-term reliability and optimal signal transmission.
audio-optimized software: all unnecessary protocols, including energy-saving features, are disabled to prevent any potential impact on audio performance. this sound-first approach may result in limited compatibility with some older 100m-only devices, particularly on the isolated port. for best performance, modern gigabit-capable devices are recommended.
We’re thrilled to share some news for the high-end audio community: work is well underway on the new Duelund JDM Alu-WPIO (Aluminum Foil, Wax-Impregnated Paper In Oil) Capacitor Line, designed to carry forward — and elevate — the legacy of the original Jensen aluminum foil paper-in-oil capacitors.
When Jensen, whose capacitors set a high bar for natural tonality and musicality, ceased production, a void was left for discerning audiophiles and builders alike. Duelund, renowned for uncompromising craftsmanship and sonic purity, has taken up the challenge. Drawing inspiration from the best of the Jensen designs but improving key areas like materials sourcing, foil purity, and construction methods, Duelund’s JDM Alu-WPIO aims not just to replace but surpass the performance of the classics.
Expect the hallmark rich, organic midrange, sweet treble, and beautifully textured bass that paper-in-oil designs are known for — but with even greater refinement, stability, and musical flow, thanks to Duelund’s no-compromise approach. Early prototypes have been highly promising, and full production is expected soon.
Whether you’re restoring vintage gear, crafting a new reference preamp, or upgrading your loudspeakers, the Duelund JDM Alu-WPIO capacitors are shaping up to become the new gold standard for those who crave authentic musical engagement.
Stay tuned for more updates — the future of wax and oil-impregnated audio capacitors looks brighter (and more beautiful) than ever!
Years in the making, the PX-8 Phono Preamplifier is set to bring you both analog, and digital bliss* in one box, featuring some of our most ambitious technology to date.
The PX-8 features two separate analog inputs with a balanced and unbalanced connection, and independent gain and load setting changes, that can be modified from the front panel. Having no need for dip switches or internal jumpers, the PX-8 Phono Preamp will quickly become a favorite among tone arm and cartridge connoisseurs.
A third and optional single ended input can also be equipped for each channel on the PX-8, which supports the DS Audio brand of Optical Cartridges. This unique technology, when paired with our fully balanced, discrete, zero-feedback design language, will unlock details in your recordings, and reduce noise to levels yet experienced before with your record collection.
Another state of the art option we bring to the PX-8, that has been years in the making, is a premium analog to digital conversion output circuit. This optional board is outfitted with USB, COAX/SPDIF, and TOSLINK optical output, which allows users to digitize and archive their vinyl collection. This also makes the PX-8 the first all in one solution to digitize the new DS Audio Optical Cartridge playback, when equipped with both available options.
Fully-balanced From Input to Output
