Its job is to stop the streaming network from polluting the music. Routers, switches, Wi-Fi extenders, and the Ethernet cable itself inject electrical noise, ground-loop artifacts, and high-frequency interference into the line; that noise rides downstream into the DAC's clock and analog stages, where it shows up as a small but real loss of refinement. STILL sits in-line and removes it — galvanically isolating the upstream network from the downstream music component, blocking the electrical path noise travels on while the audio data passes through losslessly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eConstruction is uncompromising in the way AB-Tech is uncompromising about everything. The chassis is milled from a single block of non-magnetic, high-grade aluminum — a unibody that does double duty as EMI\/RFI shielding and thermal management. The internal assembly is suspended in a proprietary viscoelastic damping material, isolating it from mechanical vibration and microphonic energy that would otherwise modulate the signal. Two front-panel switches give the listener real control: one selects the shield reference (input or output) so the device can be tuned to where the dirty ground actually lives in your system; the other selects isolation level (loose or full) for fine-tuning to the upstream network. RJ45 connectors are high-quality throughout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003ePlace STILL between your network switch and your music server, or between the wall and any Ethernet-connected DAC, streamer, or Roon endpoint. It sits comfortably above AB-Tech's REN in the same family — same Swedish design language, same machining discipline, with the multi-stepped isolation topology and the user-selectable shield and isolation switches that make STILL the more flexible tool in a complex network. Designed and built in Sweden by Alexander Bladelius.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan class=\"moze-important moze-large\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eReference Ethernet isolator for streaming-audio noise rejection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eHigh-level multi-stepped galvanic isolation (signal and ground paths)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eHigh-frequency filter to suppress noise from upstream network sources\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eSwitch 1: Shield reference select — input or output\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eSwitch 2: Isolation level select — loose or full\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eHigh-quality RJ45 connectors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eChassis milled from a single block of non-magnetic high-grade aluminum (unibody)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eInternal assembly suspended in proprietary viscoelastic damping material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eDimensions: 149 mm (W) × 42 mm (H) × 93 mm (D)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eDesigned and built in Sweden\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.ab-tech.se\/still\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #838383;\"\u003eClick here for the manufacturer's page!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AB-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48737915928795,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/IMG_3387.jpg?v=1777760837","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/ab-tech-still-ethernet-isolator","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
