iFi Audio iDefender+ External USB Audio Ground Loop Eliminator

If you're tired of dealing with the annoying hum and buzz in your audio system, the iDefender+ is here to provide a solution. Ground loops can be a common problem when multiple plugs are used in an audio chain, leading to unwanted noise, buzz, and distortion in your audio. Fortunately, the iDefender+ offers a straightforward and highly effective remedy.

Breaking the Loop When you plug the iDefender+ into the USB socket of your source device, it's designed to detect and address ground loop issues intelligently. It disconnects the computer's earth, effectively eliminating the audible ground-loop hum. This action not only removes unwanted noise but also results in a lower noise floor within your system, ultimately enhancing audio resolution and dynamic contrast.

A Game Changer for USB DAC Users If you're using the iDefender+ with a USB DAC that relies on power from your computer rather than mains power or an internal battery, there's even better news. This device offers an additional benefit. By connecting an external power supply to the USB-C socket on the side, it prevents power from the computer and instead supplies the DAC with clean power from the external source. This can lead to a significant improvement in the performance of your USB DAC, especially when using a high-quality, low-noise power adapter like iFi's iPower X.

A New and Improved Solution The iDefender+ has undergone significant enhancements, including circuitry upgrades with improved input and output filtering and a tenfold increase in filtering capacitance. It is now available in three versions and features the newer USB-C connector.

Say farewell to annoying buzz and hum in your audio system with the iDefender+. It's a must-have for anyone looking to improve their audio quality and enjoy cleaner, more pristine sound.

Embracing the Future with 'SuperSpeed' USB 3.0 By embracing the 'SuperSpeed' USB 3.0, these devices offer an extensive wiring specification, allowing for increased audio transfer rates while maintaining backward compatibility. Gold-plated connectors ensure optimal signal transfer.

Injecting Clean Power With a separate USB-C port, users can supply their systems with 5 volts of pristine power. This action isolates the USB power from the PC, replacing it with clean external power. To minimize noise, consider the use of a 5-volt power adapter such as iFi's iPower Elite or iPOWER X.

Eliminating USB Power Noise Effectively The iDefender+ excels at eliminating USB power noise by correctly breaking earth/ground loops. This results in a substantial reduction in the system's noise floor, offering improved dynamic contrast, warmth, and audio resolution. iDefender+ delivers cleaner, more pristine sound quality to users.
