In practice, the Tempus switch and Muon Pro filter are less about obvious fireworks and more about subtle but significant improvements. With the pair in place, my streamed music gained an ease and refinement that is difficult to ascribe to data alone. The sound has more fluidity, less glare, and a more coherent soundstage. Transients feel sharper yet more natural, with micro-dynamics rendered effortlessly. Vocals emerge with a heightened sense of presence, and instrumental textures carry more air and nuance.
However, the most notable improvement was the reduction of tension in my digital experience, which is an area where vinyl unquestionably excels and is why it remains my preferred source to this day.

The tempus effect was not subtle; it was like going from 2D to 3D; the sound was projected into the room with a visceral presence.

tempus – Precision Ultra Low Noise Ethernet Switch
Tempus, Network Acoustics’ flagship Ethernet Switch has been developed as a system, with equal attention paid to both the design of the switch and its power supply.
Separating the power supply from the signal clocking and output processes is critical when designing an Ethernet Switch for high-end music and video streaming. Network Acoustics achieved this goal by designing a Switch with huge, but low-stressed processing/switching capacity, precision clocking and integrated power filtering. The tempus Switch is perfectly matched with its hybrid power supply, which is designed to provide the clean and dynamic power that is required.
The result is an Ethernet Switch unequalled in its ability to simultaneously deliver perfectly timed and clean signal to all of the networked devices in your home entertainment system.
Bringing realism, timing and extraordinary clarity to streamed music, while at the same time adding depth, contrast, pin-sharp detail, and a natural fluidity of motion to video playback, making tempus the beating heart and essential foundation of any serious networked home entertainment system.
Tempus is engineered and hand built in the UK, sold with free express world-wide shipping, 2-year manufacturers warranty and Network Acoustics’ 60-day money back guarantee.

Engineered and hand built in the UK.
tempus – Hybrid Power Supply
Having spent months testing the ‘best’ available battery, linear and switched-mode technology, Network Acoustics concluded that the only way to realize the performance they wanted for tempus, was to create something new, a power supply designed specifically for the purpose.
The tempus Hybrid Power Supply is a ground-breaking design in its own right. Featuring multi-stage noise filtering, a unique output stage design, combined with switched-mode technology, and its own high-performance DC cable . This unique hybrid design delivers ultra clean power normally only associated with the best Linear supplies combined with the essential dynamics only a switched-mode can provide.
