Waversa Systems WSmart HUB 3.0 Network Switch

The perfect solution for preventing streaming noise. The WSmartHub 3.0 features a lithium-ion battery with OCXO clock system, 4 x gigabit Ethernet switch operated with battery power and OCXO clock, 4 bank Waversa custom Battery Management System (BMS), Roon Bridge, DLNA and AirPlay support, USB Hub / USB Host for external DAC and 7V DC power supply.

OCXO Clock System

WSmart Hub 3.0 is equipped with a high-quality OCXO (Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillator) clock system. This clock system, combined with battery power, ensures the delivery of the purest streamed signal and enables smooth WNDR transmission to other Waversa devices. The OCXO clock system provides precise and accurate timing, contributing to an enhanced audio experience.

Unibody Housing

All Waversa products are built with high-quality aluminium chassis skilfully produced by an expensive CNC process. The chassis features individual segments for each module, providing protection from external noise and harmful vibration, thereby maximising audio performance.

Clear Information

WSmart HUB provides clear information for each Ethernet switch port status, allowing you to easily monitor the connectivity and activity of each port. Additionally, it provides detailed battery charge/discharge status with voltage information, enabling you to monitor the battery’s performance and plan for battery replacement when needed.

Furthermore, WSmart HUB offers convenient access to Ethernet speed and handshake settings through the menu. This allows you to easily control and adjust these important parameters that directly impact audio performance, giving you greater control over your audio setup.

Noise Free Interface

WSmart HUB offers a noise-free hub for both network and USB interfaces, ensuring optimal signal quality. With its 4 Gigabit Ethernet switch ports, 2 USB-A ports, and 1 USB-B port, WSmart HUB provides the perfect noise-free environment to interconnect your digital devices. Additionally, it can be used as a Roon Bridge, further enhancing its versatility and functionality in your audio setup.

Waversa Custom BMS and Management System

Waversa BMS (Battery Management System) is designed to effectively manage the entire battery life cycle, ensuring safe recharging and maximizing battery lifespan. The BMS ensures that while one bank of batteries is being used, the previous depleted bank is recharged, maintaining a continuous and uninterrupted power supply. This intelligent management system optimizes the performance and longevity of the batteries, providing reliable and consistent power for your Waversa device.

4 Bank Lithium Ion BMS

The WSmart HUB incorporates a 4 Bank Lithium Ion BMS (Battery Management System) to ensure optimal power delivery and minimize noise interference. The design of the hub is specifically engineered to prevent SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supply) noise from disturbing the Ethernet switches.

Both the high-quality OCXO clock and Ethernet switch exclusively utilize optimized charged batteries from the ultra-clean battery power source. This dedicated power configuration helps to maintain a noise-free environment and ensures the delivery of clean power to the critical components of the WSmart HUB.
