Jitter killer; put the quality back into the sound






Southport, UK – 18th August 2016


SPDIF is ubiquitous, but needs jitter sorting



SPDIF is back. With platforms like PS4, Xbox, Apple TV and Google Chromecast etc., SPDIF output has once again become a popular medium for enjoying good sound. However, such SPDIF outputs are loaded with jitter which effects sub-par sound quality.


The new SPDIF iPurifier runs the SPDIF signal through 4 comprehensive signal optimisation and regeneration stages.  The SPDIF iPurifier eliminates all source jitter and regenerates a perfect SPDIF signal - resulting in warmer, more dynamic, resolving and flat out more life-like sonics.


Features/Technologies





  1. Signal stage 1: Galvanic isolation of SPDIF signal
  2. Signal stage 2: REgenerate®
  3. Signal stage 3: Memory buffer
  4. Signal stage 4: REclock® (with <300 femto seconds Global Master Timing®)
  5. Bit-Perfect® support up to 192kHz, (PCM/DSD on DoP) and DTS, Dolby Digital
  6. Coaxial/Optical input and Coaxial and Optical outputs
  7. ‘Quieter than battery’ iPower 5V included




The retail price of the SPDIF iPuriifer is US$149 (ex-tax) or €165 (incl VAT).

great heads up. the million dollar question is will it improve my setup? as follows
 
NAS -> PC (Asus STX SPDIF out) -> Benchmark DAC2 HGC -> powered monitor / sub / headphone amp
 
previously i find SPDIF sounds the best and would love to add this to improve my setup. Any one knows?

As always, try before you buy And listen for yourself. Use reviews only as a guide.
