Pure Music Group Expands Portfolio with exD KonNET Audiophile Network Switches
Pure Music Group, a leader in high-end audio distribution, proudly announces the Australian launch of the exD (Excel Digital Audio) KonNET series of network audio switches.
This exciting addition to Pure Music Group’s carefully curated lineup reinforces its commitment to delivering cutting-edge digital audio solutions to Australian audiophiles.
Pure Music Group has introduced the finest Digital Audio Decoders from esteemed brands like Playback Designs, Mola Mola, and Sonnet Audio for years. With the inclusion of exD’s innovative KonNET series, Pure Music Group offers a groundbreaking solution for audiophiles seeking to optimise digital audio streaming and networked audio performance.
The exD KonNET series represents a fresh approach to the rapidly evolving category of Audiophile Network Switches. Designed from the ground up by exD, the KonNET series is engineered to uphold the stringent demands of high-end network audio streaming. Unlike conventional IT-grade network switches, KonNET devices are purpose-built for high-fidelity audio reproduction, ensuring uncompromised data integrity and seamless integration into existing digital audio systems.
Each KonNET network switch is built with a low-phase noise OCXO clock, ensuring superior timing accuracy with ultra-low noise regulation. An integrated linear power supply eliminates noise associated with conventional switch-mode power supplies, while impedance-controlled PCB design reduces electrical interference and optimises signal integrity. Fast Ethernet topology (100Mbps) was chosen for its lower noise footprint, which is crucial for critical audio streaming. A robust aluminium chassis also provides effective EMI/RFI shielding and vibration isolation.
The exD KonNET series is now available in Australia through Pure Music Group’s authorised retailer network. With a two-year warranty and complete support from Pure Music Group’s dedicated team, customers can expect a superb listening experience with expert guidance and after-sales service.
For over 25 years, Pure Music Group has pioneered Australia's high-end audio scene, curating some of the world's finest audio products. Driven by an unwavering commitment to sonic excellence, Pure Music Group partners with leading manufacturers to provide discerning music lovers and hi-fi enthusiasts with state-of-the-art audio solutions.
The KonNET model features 5x RJ45 (100Mbps) ports priced at A$2,850. The KonNET-K offers 4x RJ45 and 1x SFP (1Gbps) connectivity at A$3,895, while the KonNET-O provides a streamlined solution with 1x RJ45 and 1x SFP (1Gbps) at A$1,975.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
