UK, May 2026: Network Acoustics, the British company renowned for pushing the boundaries of streamed music reproduction, is excited to announce the first product of their new reference Muon2 range: the Muon2 Precision Network Switch. This new product is the definitive realisation of the company’s mission to Bring Streaming to Life.
Building on the success of the award-winning Tempus, the Muon2 represents a complete reimagining of how a network switch can impact the sound quality of streaming. Developed and hand-built in the UK, every detail of its design has been meticulously researched, developed, refined, and most importantly listened to. The result is the first network switch capable of fully unlocking the potential of streaming as a high-end source.
Inside Muon2
At the heart of Muon2 lies its inbuilt unique hybrid power supply, improving on the award-winning Origin Power Supply to combine the precision and dynamics of switch-mode operation with the fluid, low-noise behaviour of linear delivery. The result is a silent electrical environment and more faithful timing, essential for musical realism.
The solid beechwood enclosure is crafted from a hand-selected piece of beechwood and precision-milled by high-end speaker maker Auer Acoustics. Beech was chosen after exhaustive materials testing for its uniquely balanced and neutral sonic character. Its natural damping eliminates the subtle resonances that metal and composite housings introduce.
Supporting this are Network Acoustics’ newly developed Pyramid Isolators. Machined from hardened silicate minerals and precision-tapered to a sharp point, each foot presents the smallest possible contact to the base of the Muon2 switch, effectively eliminating the transmission of surface-borne vibration into the chassis. The audible effect is even greater focus, improved micro-detail, and a more stable soundstage.
Co-Founder Rich Trussell says:
“In creating the Muon2, our priority was to enhance every aspect of a switch’s performance. While the motherboard and clock are important, our research and listening tests constantly demonstrated the defining factors lie in the power supply and in controlling vibration through careful enclosure design and isolation.
Engineered Without Compromise
The Muon2 Network Switch is the result of 7-years of listening-led development in noise rejection, materials science, and power delivery. Key innovations include:
Single-chassis architecture: complete segregation of signal and power domains ensuring total isolation.
New generation hybrid power supply, designed for ultra-quiet dynamic power delivery.
Precision-machined solid beechwood enclosure, developed in partnership with speaker cabinet specialists AUER Acoustics, chosen for its remarkable vibration damping properties
Network Acoustics Pyramid Isolators, specifically developed to decouple the Muon2 chassis from external vibration.
Ultra-low-jitter clock for precise timing and exceptional musical realism.
Future proofed connectivity: 5 x 10Mb–2.5Gb LAN and 1 x 10Gb SFP+ ports
Dedicated grounding point for use with external grounding devices.
Finishes: high-gloss metallic black or silver.
Each Muon2 Network Switch is hand-assembled and individually tested in the UK against a reference system to guarantee consistent performance.
Streaming First And Last
As with all Network Acoustics products, the Muon2 is purpose-built to remove noise and preserve timing integrity of the Digital to Analogue conversion, preventing jitter and allowing streamed music to sound fluid, open, and alive. With the Muon2 Network Switch, Network Acoustics have transformed the idea of a “network switch” into an essential audiophile component, one that lets high-end streamers and DACs reveal their full musical potential.
Co-Founder Rob Osbourn says:
“We hand-engineer and manufacture our products in the UK. This means we can’t make the cheapest switch, but we can make the finest. This is thanks to our unique expertise and a holistic design approach, where we exhaustively explore every possibility. In Muon2, we are confident that we have created the best network switch on the market. We know this is a big claim, and we invite listeners to decide if we’re right.”
