iFi Audio SPDIF iPurifier2

iFi SPDIF iPurifier2

The iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 is a data filter that actively regenerates the digital S/PDIF signal. In the process, the digital signal is effectively stripped of jitter. This jitter is audible to the human ear by sharpness, harshness, a lack of dynamics and a sometimes restless music reproduction. In combination with this iPurifier2 from iFi, you will experience an audibly warmer music reproduction with less sharpness, better transparency, more detail, spaciousness and more depth in music reproduction.

What does the iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 do?

This iPurifier2 provides bit-perfect regeneration of the digital source signal. There is no upsampling or resampling and thus the output signal always maintains the same bit rate as the source signal. This active data filter supports both 2-channel stereo and surround sound data streams from 16-bit 44.1kHz to 24bit 192kHz. The input and output are either coaxial or optical (via mini-Toslink) in this way this iPurifier2 also functions as a coaxial to optical and optical to coaxial converter. Whichever S/PDIF standard you prefer, this iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 makes music sound in its full glory.

How does the iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 work?

Plug your source via S/PDIF (optical or coaxial) into the iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 using the supplied adapter cables. The incoming signal is re-clocked using a Femto Master Clock, actively filtered and sent with a correct 75 Ohm impedance (coaxial) to a digital input on your amplifier or DAC. The coaxial signal is galvanically decoupled preventing interference from the digital source and possible ground loops (slight hum in the background). The housing of this iPurifier2 is also optimally shielded to prevent unwanted RFI/EMI.

Why an iFi SPDIF iPurifier2?

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) is the first available digital output for CD players, DVD players and PCI sound cards. Designed for short distances, this standard experienced relatively high levels of unwanted jitter when transmitting the signal. Over the years, however, there have been considerable improvements in digital signal processing. Despite all the technological advances, the S/PDIF standard has remained and is still widely used in the digital audio world. With the iFi SPDIF iPurifier2 you eliminate all the typical disadvantages of the S/PDIF standard with a simple intervention.
