@iFi audio which one of these solve the occasional static pop w/ my PC.

It doesn't. iUSB3.0 is our reclocker and iGalvanic3.0 is a galvanic isolator for USB, thus products different that iSilencer+ and iDefender+.

@iFi audio Thank you for quick reply.

A good idea indeed, but a meal won't make music background darker, won't remove grain and won't break ground loops. Just sayin'

I've found the iematch to degrade fidelity and resolution when using it. Does this work similar?

iFi iUSB

Seems very similar to the HiFimeDIY USB Isolator -- except for the side USB-C port. It looks less snazzy but works well for me.

All the USB isolators look alike.

Very funny because you equal the dollar with the British pound buy you round up with the € just because potato xD Is there a good reason why you do that?

Yup, could use some clarification on that

I mean, I would definitely like to reduce the hum and noise floor on my USB connection... does anyone have a positive results with iFi iSilencer of iDefender?

If that's the issue you want to address, then iSilencer is the way to go. It was designed to specifically reduce incoming USB noise.

I'd check your PC/laptop first as USB cracks/pops are oftentimes related to software more than anything else. Can you please tell me what's your device that sends music to your DAC?

I wonder if you can use an optical coupler to isolate noise for the digital signals. Usb spdif adapter to spdif receiver adapter. I use the Creative G5 as a spdif receiver to line out with Apple TV optical output. So far no noise issue but I don't have any Andromeda like sensitive gear.

This already exists. Intona 3.0 uses optical coupler for maximum isolation.

Anyone got one yet? I'm wondering if there's a dramatic improvement. I upgraded from the iPurifier 2 to the iPurifier 3 and couldn't tell a difference between the 2. I'm kind of thinking this may be the same way, but wondering if anyone bit the bullet and got one yet (before I order). If there's an audible improvement, I'll order about 3 or 4 of them.

Any experience on gadgets like these from people who don't have any audible noise? Just wondering if there's anything I'm missing (that I'm not yet aware of), or if it would just be a waste (or even detriment) in my case

EDIT: using the iFi Nano Black Label, btw

Would the iSilencer improve my iDSD Pro DAC or does the USB in the Pro already include what the iSilencer does?
