iPurifier 2 – Active Asynch USB Purifier Hub!
 
Filter-packed to the nth degree

Southport, UK – 30st Oct 2015
 
 
Leading the field in USB audio technology

The iFi obsession with cleaning up the USB audio chain continues. Drawing from the knowledge pool of AMR and on the heels of the iUSB3.0 comes the iPurifier2. It is an Asynchronous Active USB Purifier Hub. It offers 100X to 100,000X [1] noise reduction for USB Power, underpinned by REclock®, REgenerate® and REbalance®. It is so intelligent, it is an active USB hub so it can extend USB lengths. Used at the end of the chain, just select the type A, B [2], C or micro USB connector version to enhance any and every USB audio device.
 
 
Features:

Active Noise Cancellation® military-grade circuit for 100X to 100,000X noise reduction

REgenerate® and REclock® asynchronous technology to eliminate jitter

REbalance® re-corrects USB signal balance to cancel DC offset noise

Compliant with USB Audio Class 2.0 for DSD/PCM/DXD formats (to 768kHz and beyond)

Aluminium aircraft-grade ‘Final’ connector (impedance 90 ohms)
4 versions – USB A, B, C and micro connections
 
The retail price of the iPurifier2 is US$109 (ex-tax) or Euro119 (incl VAT).
 
[1] Magnitude of improvement dependent upon where in the audible frequency range.

[2] Type B is available now, types A,C and micro USB to follow.

The price does not deter....

That way people can better advise on improvements.

I suspect this new iFi iUSB 3.0 usb regenerator could be a better prospect.
