The challenge of improving on the multi award-winning Reiki Audio SuperSwitch PRO was always going to be immense. Since its launch in 2023 the SuperSwitch and its PRO PSU have benefited incrementally from improvements including the addition of a grounding post, an increase in chassis thickness from 3mm to 5mm and a respacing of the rear ports to better accommodate larger ethernet cables on the input side.
The SuperSwitch X and its accompanying Pro X PSU represent more than an incremental change. As the Roman numeral X suggests, the cases have doubled in thickness from 5mm to 10mm, providing even greater rigidity, almost double the weight and even better shielding from radiated RFI. The SuperSwitch X’s high performance circuitry is now encased in a non-conductive resin for further suppression of micro-vibrations.
The fully linear Pro X PSU incorporates a similar 10mm thick case and a 25% larger Audio Grade transformer. The class-leading custom-designed low impedance rectifier and regulator design uses high quality components to provide the SuperSwitch X with stable, clean, low ripple, low noise DC power. The Pro X’s 10mm aluminium top plate perfectly accommodates the Superswitch X, with one layer of copper and 20mm of aluminium isolating the Superswitch X circuitry from the PSU’s circuitry and transformer.
High quality aluminium/silicone feet further aid vibration control and stability (4 on the Pro X and 3 on the SuperSwitch X). As the result of an exciting new partnership with fellow British innovators Stack Audio, Reiki Audio offer an upgrade to a specially commisioned threaded version of the excellent Auva EQ isolators.
Dimensions are just 10mm wider/taller/deeper than the SuperSwitch and PRO but weights have almost doubled due to case thickness:
- SuperSwitch X with aluminium isolation feet: W192mm x D110mm x H72mm Weight 1.80kg
- SuperSwitch X with Stack Auva isolation feet: W192mm x D110mm x H83mm Weight 1.98kg
- Pro X PSU with aluminium isolation feet: W260mm x D148mm x H97mm Weight 4.85kg
- Pro X PSU with Stack Auva isolation feet: W260mm x D148mm x H108mm Weight 5.11kg
SuperSwitch X + Pro X PSU package: from $6200 / £4250 / €5110
