Key Features Explained
SuperSpeed USB 3.0
‘SuperSpeed’ USB 3.0 has a more exhaustive wiring specification which allows for a greater amount of audio transfer while still being backwards compatible. The units incorporate high-quality gold-plated connectors for optimal signal transfer.
Breaking earth loops
Kills USB power noise by ‘breaking’ the earth/ground loops in the correct way. It significantly reduces the system noise floor and makes for better dynamic contrast, warmth and resolution.
Active Noise Cancellation
The iDefender+ removes electrical noise (including EMI/RFI) at source using iFi's Active Noise Cancellation II circuit. This process enables bit-perfect transfer of audio data to the DAC.
Plug and Purify
The iDefender3.0 plugs into your computer USB port and auto-detects if there is
more than one earth and will ‘intelligently’ disconnect the computer earth for a
cleaner sound. It eliminates ground loops that keep the DAC from functioning
properly and compromise the transparency of the restitution.
Block and Replace
On top of saving your computer from the unwanted earth, if your DAC is USB
powered, iDefender3.0 can block the computer’s power supply and replace it by an
external power supply. Injecting clean power will ensure you get the maximum out
of your USB audio. It significantly reduces the system noise floor and makes for
better dynamic contrast, warmth and resolution.
How do I use?
iDefender+
