Description

The DELA S50 is a compact, audiophile-grade network switch designed to bring high-end streaming performance into systems that don’t have space—or budget—for the larger S5 or S1. It builds on the legacy of the well-regarded S100, incorporating improved power design, flexible configuration, and refined noise control in a half-width chassis.

Engineered and hand-assembled in Japan, the S50 focuses on delivering stable, low-noise data transmission by combining a purpose-built architecture with a dedicated internal power supply. It’s designed to sit neatly within modern hi-fi systems while still applying DELA’s “sound-first” approach to network optimisation.

Key Features

  • 9-port configuration: 6 × RJ45 and 3 × SFP/SFP+ ports for flexible copper and fibre networking
  • User-configurable port speeds (OFF / 10M / 100M / 1G) to optimise performance and reduce noise
  • Clear Dynamic Power Supply for stable, low-noise operation
  • Integrated IEC power inlet with universal voltage compatibility
  • Port disable function to eliminate unused circuitry and minimise interference
  • LED dimming and shutoff to reduce electrical noise during playback
  • USB power output (5V) for accessories (no data transfer)
  • Compact half-width chassis for easy system integration
  • Hand-assembled in Japan for consistent build quality

Why Choose the S50

The S50 is ideal for systems where space, simplicity, and performance all matter. It delivers many of the core benefits of DELA’s higher-end switches—reduced electrical noise, configurable network behaviour, and improved signal stability—without requiring a full-width component or flagship-level investment.

Its configurable ports allow you to tailor your network for audio performance rather than raw speed, making it particularly well suited to dedicated streaming setups. For users looking to move beyond standard IT switches and take a more considered approach to network audio, the S50 provides a balanced and practical upgrade path.
