iFi iPurifier3 USB audio and data signal filter/cleaner will surprise you

To be honest, despite the rave reviews for the iFi iPurifier3 USB filter, I didn't expect too much improvement, especially in the Compared to Audioquest Jitterbug, I was intrigued to hear about the potential impact of noise filtering technology combined with reclocking, regeneration and rebalancing technology. Wow, at $129 that's an amazing price and it's designed for portability, although it's still too heavy to use on the go. I am currently using it with a Lenovo Thinkpad 430T connected to a…

Added extra noise to the system

I purchased this product for a near field desktop installation to help manage the USB connection from a nearby PC. The intention was to reduce noise and jitter - unfortunately I have to report that this did exactly the opposite and affected the sound quality. Testing the sound quality over several days with different listening sessions and A/B tests with my wife, I found the following: Soundstage: No reduction or increase in size Treble: The highs seem to drop off a bit Mid: No audible change…

I hope - UPDATE

Updated 5/4/2020 Just wanted to give an update as I am very happy with this product and company. (Yes, my original unit failed, but this issue was quickly resolved by iFi, any product no matter how good can sometimes be rejected.) In any case, those who have a gaming laptop know that their USB audio is something can be loud . For me personally, this is HP's omen. And those who have or have had a Parasound P5 preamp know that when it comes to sound quality, the DAC can seem a bit basic. However,

Improved Chord Qutest

I am connecting a RasPi 3 with iPower 5v to a Chord Qutest. I know the Qutest is galvanically isolated and I was skeptical that iPurifier would make a difference, but I'm always looking for improvements, especially now that it's driving some very transparent speakers (Pendragons). When I put this in the chain and did some A's and B's I couldn't find anything that had changed and was ready to send it back. But then, as I listened all evening, I kept being drawn to the DEPTH of the image. This is

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Fits

Yes, it really affects the sound!

and I think I answered it in the title . I am using iPurifier 3 with my iFi Micro Black Label as shown in the images. My Hi-Res music, especially high sample DSD and FLAC, sounds cleaner now, and believe me it's not a placebo effect. You can read the specs of this nifty device all over the internet, so I won't bore you with that. The presentation is great (see photos) and gives you a premium feeling as soon as you pick it up (just like other ifi products). The device is smaller than you think…

Pros
  • ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY - featuring OS-CON and tantalum capacitors for additional filtering and power smoothing, high-precision MELF resistors for increased accuracy and stability, and a gold-plated copper alloy shield to reduce electromagnetic interference
Cons
  • Without insurance
