The original OpticalBridge was enthusiastically received at its 2023 launch and has taken its place is some of the finest systems in the world. We are proud to announce that its all new big brother is to join the X Series.
The OpticalBridge X and its accompanying Pro X PSU take performance to a different level:
As the Roman numeral X suggests, the case has doubled in thickness from 5mm to 10mm, providing even greater rigidity, almost double the weight and even better shielding from radiated RFI
our new Fiber Media Converter (FMC) circuitry is even lower noise than the original and our anti-vibration damping treatment further reduces noise
after a long search we have identified, and now supply as standard, an even quieter SFP transceiver module
High quality aluminium/silicone feet further aid vibration control and stability (4 on the Pro X and 3 on the OpticalBridge X)
as the result of an exciting new partnership with Stack Audio, we are now able to offer an upgrade to a specially commissioned threaded version of the excellent Auva EQ isolators.
Pro X: a similarly upgraded version of our superb fully linear PRO PSU with a matching 10mm thick case, the same footer options, and a 25% larger true Audio Grade transformer. The class-leading low impedance design using high quality components to provide the SuperSwitch X with stable, clean, low ripple, low noise DC power. Echoing the Superswitch X’s superb aesthetics, our fully linear Pro X combines class-leading custom-designed low noise circuitry with classic Reiki Audio attention to detail including a beautiful milled aluminium case and no LED’s. The Pro X’s 10mm aluminium top plate perfectly accommodates the Superswitch X; together with the copper-lined 10mm aluminium base plate of the OpticalBridge X, there is therefore one layer of copper and 20mm of aluminium isolating the OpticalBridge X circuitry from the PSU’s circuitry and transformer.
The Reiki Audio Pro X PSU does not, as standard, come with a power cable as most audiophiles prefer to use a cable of their own choice.
