iFi iDefender+ USB Audio Ground Loop Eliminator (Type A > A)

iFi iDefender+ USB Audio Ground Loop Eliminator (Type A > A)

Reduce noise in your USB audio playback with the iFi AUDIO iDefender+ USB Type-A Ground Loop Breaker. This device is designed to eliminate noise caused by ground loops. It has a USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A input and a USB Type-A output and can be powered via USB from your device or with an optional USB Type-C power adapter.

When plugged into your source device's USB port, the iDefender+ is designed to detect whether there's a ground loop problem and break it by disconnecting the computer's ground, virtually eliminating audible ground-loop hum and lowering the system noise floor to enhance resolution and dynamic audio contrast.

Product Highlights:

• 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.
• Inject 5 volts of clean power clean via the ‘separate’ micro port. This disconnects the USB power from the PC and replaces it with clean external power. For ultra-low noise, use our 5-volt iPower X.
• Adding the separate 5 volts to the unit is necessary to ‘break’ the earth/ground on USB-powered DACs. This is not required for DACs with an internally powered USB section.
• ‘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.
• Our 30-day money back guarantee
