The USB audio platform is well-established, yet as with any audio transmission protocol, unwanted factors hinder the audio quality. iFi's obsession with 'cleaning up' the USB audio chain drawn from the knowledge base of AMR. As early as 2012, iFi invented the first USB power regenerator - the iUSB Power. This was swiftly followed by professional USB audio cables - the Mercury and Gemini. Later came the USB audio filter - the original iPurifier. Fast-forward to 2015 and they now have the iPurifier 2. Most effective at the end (rather than the beginning) of the 'digital USB audio chain' the iPurifier 2 cleans up the USB transmission. There is an iPurifier 2 perfectly suited to every DAC. All-new and cutting-edge In an all aircraft-grade CNC-aluminum shell anodized in 'titanium',the all-new iPurifier 2 features the very latest USB audio technology from Active Noise Cancellation to REclock and REgenerate, whilst still retaining the original REbalance. Active Noise Cancellation drawn from military radar technology Drawing from the military field (specifically the Thales Spectra radar cancellation system deployed in the French Dassault Rafale jet fighter), iFi adapted this technology to exclusively introduce the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) audio power system. It is now a cornerstone of the ever-improving iFi USB audio technology, looking for new products to feature ANC and ANC+. An air defence radar is transmitting at a certain frequency; the signal is bouncing off the aircraft; a receiver on board the aircraft picks up the signal and a computer analyses its base frequency/modulations and an identical, out-of-phase signal is generated by an on board system to cancel out the enemy radar signal.By generating a signal identical to the noise signal but in the exact opposite phase, it actively cancels all the incoming noise. ANC is the perfect 'antidote' for power supply noise, the bane of USB audio. ANC measured, noise drops by 100 times or 40dB in comparison to the Common Noise Filter. Sonically, the background and inner resolution to recordings is enhanced several levels. REclock reclock/regenerate/repeat the signal Re-clocking is beneficial to audio. REclock is a '3-in-1' feature that re-clocks/re-generates/repeats USB audio datastream. For any and every downstream DAC, REclock technology eliminates jitter. Music flows better, is cleaner, deeper and tauter, just like the real thing. REbalance rectify the unbalanced signal A core element of the original iPurifier's success was REbalance which has naturally been carried over to the iPurifier 2. By removing the DC offset and 're-balancing' the USB audio signal, it is now perfectly balanced. As it purifies the USB audio data stream, this means noise is significantly reduced. Future-proofed. Like no other At iFi, they already develop cutting-edge, advanced audio converters from AMR trickle-down technology. Given this pedigree, the iPurifier 2 (just like the original iPurifier) is ready for all present and future PCM/DSD/DXD formats - without restriction. So your iPurifier 2 will improve your USB audio playback experience for many years to come. The iFi 'Grand Slam'. Nobody does it better To reach the absolute zenith in USB audio quality, iFi loves to push past the envelope of what is considered possible. They recommend the existing iUSB Power (to supply pure, clean power) and the Gemini cable (for separate audio + power transmission). Coupled with the iPurifier 2 to re-clock/regenerate and filter audio+power just prior to entering the iUSB Power (in this instance, not at the DAC end). For the iUSB3.0, that alone incorporates all that they have learnt over the past few years so the iPurifier2 is not required to improve the iUSB3.0 USB A, B, C and micro sockets iFi USB audio technology is unsurpassed

The iFi nano iDSD is full of 'firsts.' It is the world's smallest, portable (only 163g), battery-powered, serious DAC that plays ALL high-resolution formats: PCM/DSD/DXD natively. Its portable form belies its bleeding-edge technological design. With the latest breakthrough True Native technology from AMR, the music format remains unchanged throughout. PCM (32bit/384kHz), DSD256 (11.2MHz) and DXD (384kHz) via Computer or iPhone/iPad/Android simply sounds stunning; opening up a whole new world of high-end audio quality to a whole new generation of users. In a palm-sized chassis with an onboard lithium-polymer battery and headphone output, the iDSD is as extraordinary 'on the go' as it is in a 'high-end system'. It handles Computers/Smartphones with aplomb. It even features an SPDIF coax digital output for A/V receivers or similar to offer unrivalled flexibility. The iDSD. Small in size. Tremendous in technology. Having a chipset able to play all formats would count for little if this was not all executed natively; without conversion from one format to another. Using trickle-down technology from AMR (who drafted the chipset code) to drive this Burr-Brown chipset, the original music format remains unchanged which is essential to attaining the zenith in high-end audio reproduction. Computer-audio playback is advancing at breakneck speed. The iDSD is at the cutting-edge.The focus on portable devices has positioned the iDSD at the forefront of this latest audio shift. Not only on computers, but the iDSD coupled with an iPhone/iPad/Android device, becomes a high-end audio source; able to play all formats, stunningly well: PCM from 16/44kHz all the way up to 32/384kHz Quad-Speed DSD to 11.2/12.4MHz DXD up to 384kHzSuch a multi-talented DAC is seldom seen at any price which just goes to show the iDSD is state-of-the art, despite its affordable price. The latest advancements in Smart Devices such as iPhone/iPad/Android has transformed them from a mobile phone to a portable, high-end Computer Audio Source. These Smart Devices are able to natively encode and transmit high-res PCM/DSD/DXD audio. As the iDSD is able to natively decode the same, this high-end 'Transport+DAC' combination offers astounding sonics yet is all just palm-sized and able to be enjoyed on the move as well as at home. Each high-resolution format is beng replayed, even DSD on 5.6MHz (the iDSD actually plays all the way up to 6.2MHz!).The iDSD features an onboard lithium-polymer battery. This offers two distinct advantages. First, sonically-speaking, the iDSD is able to run on battery power for excellent sonics over generic noisy mains. Second, the iDSD via its powerful 80mW headphone amplifier offers high-end, portable audio enjoyment. However, for ultimate sonics at home, it is also possible to run off the iUSB Power (via USB port) just by powering on the iDSD prior to connection to the PC. The iDSD offers the best of battery and iFi USB power. There are clock crystals and there are the clock crystals in the iDSD. The 'clocks' used in the iDSD which have been supplied by AMR, are military-grade temperature compensated master clock modules which avoid the creation of unwanted beat frequencies. Such crystals reduce overall digital noise and push jitter to the vanishing point. These clocks have been specifically-sourced from the telecommunications industry where standards are far more exacting than those in the industrial sector (which normally supplies to the audio industry). Expect the iDSD to sonically compete with far more expensive DACs. Its smooth, 'analogue' sound is in large part, due to the overall quality of its components such as its special clocks.

Every possible source device is covered, at the highest resolution its Bluetooth audio specification will allow & bull; With added iFi tweaks, don't get the normal drop in quality often found in other Bluetooth products & bull; Supports up to seven Bluetooth devicesThe ZEN Blue is the first Bluetooth receiver supporting all the latest hi-res codecs for the best-quality music streaming from smartphones, tablets, PCs and Macs to any audio system. The ZEN Blue impresses with its sturdy aluminum enclosure, unusual at its price. What really sets it apart is the circuitry within. The sound quality over Bluetooth is the best it can be. The Technology: Breathtaking Bluetooth The manner in which Bluetooth is implemented – the quality of signal processing and the circuitry that surrounds it – has a big impact on performance. Not all Bluetooth sounds the same, and iFi engineers their products to obtain the best possible performance from every audio source – Bluetooth streaming included. All the latest 24-bit-capable Bluetooth audio formats are supported, including Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive and aptX HD, Sony’s LDAC and Huawei’s HWA. Other codecs covered include regular aptX and aptX Low Latency, AAC (the favored format of Apple iOS devices) and SBC (the ‘plain vanilla’ Bluetooth codec). This means that every possible source device is covered at the highest audio resolution its Bluetooth specification allows. The LED at the center of the ZEN Blue’s front panel changes color to identify the Bluetooth codec being received, while another LED to the right indicates the sample rate. Qualcomm’s QCC5100 chip can be updated over-the-air, enabling future Bluetooth codecs to be added to the ZEN Blue’s specification. The ZEN Blue remembers up to seven paired Bluetooth source devices, making it easy to switch from one device to another, with impressive reception range thanks to the Bluetooth 5 specification. The DAC stage handles sampling rates well in excess of the maximum delivered by current hi-res Bluetooth formats. Of the 24-bit-capable codecs, aptX Adaptive and aptX HD support up to 48kHz, while LDAC and HWA reach 96kHz. Upgraded Implementation The iFi Bluetooth implementation begins with a state-of-the-art Qualcomm QCC5100 chip to process the incoming data. The ZEN Blue is the first product of its kind to benefit from this new-generation Bluetooth IC. The Qualcomm QCC5100 offers a ‘system-on-a-chip’ Bluetooth solution, with all functions covered including D-to-A conversion. The ZEN Blue has separate digital and analogue stages. To feed the analogue stage, the processed digital signal is routed from the QCC5100 to a specialized DAC chip from ESS Technology’s Sabre family to convert the signal from digital to analogue. One of the key advantages of the ESS Sabre DAC chip is its Hyperstream architecture with integrated Time Domain Jitter Eliminator. This helps deliver low distortion and high dynamic range. It allies with the Qualcomm chip to deliver Bluetooth audio that sounds far better than the norm. Perfectly Balanced None of this would mean much if the rest of the ZEN Blue’s circuitry were not up to scratch. This is the first iFi product to benefit from the input of legendary audio designer John Curl. He has teamed up with iFi’s electronics design team, led by Technical Director Thorsten Loesch, to ensure the circuit design of every product is fully optimized. The ZEN Blue’s analogue output stage is a balanced design, which means less interference and cross talk. It incorporates a range of high-quality circuit components, carefully selected for their performance in an audio context, including professional-grade balanced line drivers, C0G capacitors from TDK and a precision low-noise power supply IC from Texas Instruments. The Best of Both Worlds The ZEN Blue adds high-quality Bluetooth reception to any audio system via analogue or digital cable connections. A switch at the back dictates how the digital signal is routed; either through the DAC and analogue output stage, or directly to the digital outputs

Designed for home use, its hi-res digital-to-analogue conversation technology processes all forms of digital audio to a super-high standard, while the integrated analogue headphone amplifier delivers superb sound with all headphone types, from in-ear monitors to larger on- and over-ear designs. Upgraded Implementation The DAC section is based around a Burr-Brown DAC chip used extensively at iFi, selected for its fluid, highly ‘musical’ sound quality and ‘True Native’ architecture. This, together with the XMOS chip used for input processing, enables iFi to deliver excellent sound quality across all manner of digital audio formats including hi-res PCM, ‘bit-perfect’ DSD and MQA – the hi-res streaming codec, as used by Tidal’s ‘Masters’ tier. The Digital Stage PCM and DXD audio data is supported up to 24-bit/384kHz, alongside DSD sampling rates from 2.8MHz to 12.4MHz (DSD256). Thanks to the Burr-Brown chip’s True Native design, PCM and DSD take separate pathways. This enables DSD to remain ‘bit-perfect’ in its native form, right through to analogue conversion. Many DACs that claim DSD compatibility accept DSD data but then convert it to PCM. For DSD purists, the ZEN DAC is an affordable solution. Extensive clock-locking is used throughout the digital stage to eradicate jitter, maintaining the integrity of the digital signal until conversion. Bespoke Firmware Another circuit feature by iFi is their in-house programming of the XMOS chip. While other manufacturers simply use the firmware that comes with the chip off-the-shelf, which is not typically optimized for audiophile-grade sound, iFi program their own bespoke firmware to boost audio processing power. Their continuous software development allows features to be added or optimized via firmware updates, enabling the ZEN DAC to be tailored to playback priorities and ensuring it stays cutting-edge over time. can even download and install different versions of iFi firmware to experiment with different digital filters. The Analogue Stage The ZEN DAC’s analogue stage is a balanced design – highly unusual in a DAC/headphone amp near this price point. It incorporates a range of high-quality circuit components, carefully selected for their performance in an audio context, including C0G capacitors from TDK and a high-quality analogue volume pot. The headphone amp stage has switchable gain, which iFi calls PowerMatch. This matches the level of drive to the load presented by the headphones by adjusting input sensitivity and thereby signal strength. With high-sensitivity headphone types such as in-ear monitors, leave PowerMatch at its lower setting for ultra- low-noise performance. But if headphones require more drive – most on/over-ear types, for example – press the PowerMatch button on the front panel to increase gain. TrueBass is another user-selectable feature. An evolution of iFi's established XBass circuit, TrueBass is a sophisticated form of ‘bass boost’ that subtly enhances low frequencies without muddying the midrange. It's particularly useful with earphones and open-back headphones that may lack deep bass. It operates entirely in the analogue domain rather than messing with the digital signal via DSP and may be switched in or out via another button on the front panel. Well Connected The ZEN DAC sports Pentaconn 4.4 mm balanced outputs, both front and back. This is a relatively new interface type, designed to enable balanced signal transfer between compact products that cannot accommodate traditional XLR connections. The front-mounted 4.4 mm output sits alongside a standard, single-ended 6.3 mm headphone socket
