Innuos NazaréNET

The Innuos NazaréNET is a flagship audiophile network switch — the network counterpart to the Nazaré server, and the successor to the earlier PhoenixNET. Digital audio is sensitive to the quality of the network it runs on in ways that are easy to underestimate: a standard switch pours electrical noise into everything connected to it. The NazaréNET is engineered to do the opposite — to deliver a cleaner, more precisely timed signal to your streamer or server, for greater clarity and more natural timing. See the full Innuos range we stock.

WaveNET Board

At the core is Innuos's WaveNET board, purpose-built for audio rather than adapted from conventional networking hardware, with an ultra-low-noise philosophy governing every component choice and the circuit layout. It offers four Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) ports plus a single SFP fibre port — single-mode, 1310nm, good for up to 10km with a reference-grade Finisar module — so the network can be broken galvanically with fibre where it matters most.

Nazaré Power Supply

The NazaréNET shares the Nazaré's power architecture: custom-wound toroidal transformers, proprietary GaN-ARC8 modules developed with Dr Sean Jacobs, a 376,000µF energy reservoir, and four independently regulated DC4 modules with foil resistors. A high-precision OCXO clock on a dedicated isolated power rail provides an exceptionally stable, low-jitter timing reference. This is a network switch built to the same standard as the flagship server it partners.

Build and Isolation

The switch is housed in a 10mm CNC-machined aluminium chassis with SmartStack vibration damping, IsoAcoustics isolation feet and an asymmetric internal design to reduce standing waves. It measures 480 × 430 × 150mm and weighs 28kg.

Technical Specifications

Who Is It For?

The NazaréNET is for a reference digital system — most naturally alongside a Nazaré or ZENith NG — where the network has been identified as the next thing worth addressing. Because it cleans the feed before it reaches your equipment, everything connected downstream benefits at once. If you own an earlier PhoenixNET, ask us about the Innuos trade-up to the NazaréNET.

Buying from Martins Hi-Fi

Martins Hi-Fi were the first UK dealer to host an Innuos Nazaré event, and we understand where a switch like this makes an audible difference and where it does not. The honest way to judge it is in your own system, or in a resolving system in our showroom, with music you know — which we are glad to arrange.

When you get in touch, you'll be speaking with Dave, Chris and Tim at info@martinshifi.co.uk, call 01603 627010, or WhatsApp on 07554 687137. You can read more about how we work on our Why Martins page. We are at 85–91 Ber Street, Norwich, NR1 3EY.
