iFi audio iPower X
Silence improved



Power - cleaner than ever

During the R&D stage of iPower, introduced into our portfolio in 2015, we challenged ourselves by aiming to manufacture the quietest power supply available and make it compliant with as many products as possible. The feedback from the audiophile community and the longevity of this product was very positive.

We never rest on our laurels and would now like to introduce the new higher model - more visually pleasing and suitable for more products than ever - the new iPower X.

Set USB audio free with blissful, noise-free sound
iFi iSilencer+ (USB-C to USB-C) and iDefender+ (USB-A to USB-A)

When used for audio, USB interfaces are inherently ‘noisy’. iFi’s iSilencer+ and iDefender+ remove electrical noise that distorts the audio signal to unleash the connected equipment’s sonic potential



The iFi iSilencer+ and iDefender+ are available from Amazon and other selected retailers from Friday, priced at £49, (€55 $49).

iFi hip-dac warms the soul with intoxicating sound



With a sound as flavoursome and richly detailed as a delicious single malt, the hip-dac portable USB DAC/headphone amp delivers the perfect pick-me-up for any music lover on-the-go

Southport, England – iFi adds to its award-winning range of portable DAC/headphone amps with an all-new design – the hip-dac.

Smartly dressed in petrol blue with a touch of copper, the go-anywhere hip-dac is designed to slip discretely into a pocket and offers an extensive hi-res specification that belies its eminently affordable £149, (€159, $149) price tag.

You ask, iFi’s CTO himself answers!

Top quality audio goods are made for people, by people. iFi is privileged to be able to work with exceptionally skilled individuals. Just recently the legendary John Curl joined our ranks to up our game at balanced designs. Many of you are probably already familiar with his input (i.e. our ZEN machines), but there’s one more engineer who’s been our technical brain behind each device we launched, the man with the hat, the German cowboy – the one and only Thorsten Loesch himself

Thorsten is always busy but we’ve struck a deal. In exchange for gourmet food, top shelf beverages and peace, Thorsten’s agreed to chat with you good people here at Head-fi.org. The word on the street is that he’s been enjoying this place as a silent observer for years, but shhhhh.

And we’ve maxed it out!

Bluetooth technology is advancing at such a rapid rate that all manufacturers are doing their utmost to keep pace.

Here at iFi audio, we are pleased to announce that we are the very FIRST in the world to use the QC5100 series chip in high-end audio equipment.

And there’s more. This Bluetooth chipset is so new, we have had to integrate the LDAC (Sony) and HWA (Huwai) coding ourselves in-house via our own software team.

So, like it or loathe it, MQA is here and being adopted by lots of you guys out there.

Tidal recently brought MQA to mobile on Android. Here's a handy set-up guide featuring our Hannah, Owen and the lovely xDSD! (Not that Hannah and Owen aren't lovely, of course). This guide works for any MQA DAC. Enjoy.
