COS Engineering S6 – Audiophile Network Switch
The COS S6 is a refined 6-port network switch designed to eliminate the frustrating loss of audio fidelity commonly associated with digital streaming. Built with the same philosophy as COS's flagship S10, the S6 integrates low-noise circuitry, precise clocking, and clean power in a compact and more affordable form.
As one reviewer aptly put it — adding the S6 to your hi-fi streaming system is like uncorking your favorite wine: it restores musical nuance, smoothness, and depth.
