Soulnote Z-3 Network Transport

• Overview – The Soulnote Z-3 Network Transport, released in 2023, is a reference-grade network transport engineered to deliver ultra-low-noise digital streaming through a pure transport architecture without an internal DAC.

• Reference Streaming Architecture – Utilizing Soulnote’s proprietary non-negative-feedback design philosophy and low-noise clock architecture, the Soulnote Z-3 Network Transport preserves timing accuracy, lowers jitter, and maximizes digital signal integrity.

• Flagship Digital Performance – The Soulnote Z-3 Network Transport supports high-resolution network playback while providing exceptional transparency, expansive soundstage, and natural musical flow when paired with premium external DACs.

Ultra-powerful non-NFB discrete power supply

The Z-3 uses the same digital high-reguration transformer as D-3. An unprecedented 260 VA large-capacity transformer is used to create four non-NFB discrete power supply circuits separated from each circuit winding. It uses a total of 16 ultra high-speed SiC rectifier diodes and 70 low-magnification electrolytic condensers. This provides endless expressive power with overflowing clarity and directness.

ZERO LINK

ZERO LINK drastically reduces the work of the D/A converter and completely eliminates the use of asynchronous components in the D/A converter housing. In the Z-3, ZERO LINK replaces every asynchronous component to transmit only signals polished beautifully by the clock to the D/A converter. The resulting sound quality is an unprecedented leap forward in the sonic universe. This solution surpasses the highest levels of analog playback.
