If our iDefender caused this, to my knowledge that would've been the first such an issue with this product. That said, please let our support know about this: https://support.ifi-audio.com
Thanks!
I just bought the Supernova cable which should arrive in a few days. My question is can I use the Supernova cable and the GND Defender together?

I don't see any reason why you can't but I am going to ask and if the answer is any different I will get back here and update you!
Looking forward to any thoughts you have on the Cable!
Cheers!!

Sure, there's no reason why these two products shouldn't be used together, thanks!
I was informed that I would have to for over 3 weeks now as the Supernova cable is made to order.

@iFi audio Hi, I have a Novaris PP10 surge protector with 8-outgoing socket outlets, incoming IEC C14 outlet.
1.) Can I plug Ground Defender into this surge protector via C14 outlet, the other side to wall receptacle?
2) Or Ground defender is only for individual audio component with IEC C14 ?
All my audio components (streamer, external DAC, integrated amp) are with 3-pin , i.e earth/ground pin and connect to a single wall receptacle, wonder why there is ground loop problem as I observe hiss sound from speaker ? I have disconnected all my RCA interconnects from various frond-end audio, yet the hiss sound still there when I am close to speaker's tweeter.

Yes, you can connect GND DEfender to your surge protector's inlet, so that the effect spreads across its outlets. If this doesn't work with solving the issue, you could try moving GND Defender from one your individual component to the other and track whether there are any changes. Hope this helps, thanks!
The Supernova cable finally arrived today!
The packaging is good and the cable is really beautiful and its a chonker!
I would only recommend they give us some cable length options as its a tight fit in my room setup.

Thanks and I hear you. We had to go with the most common length to keep the product as affordable as we possibly could. Hope this helps in understanding our decision, thanks!

@iFi audio Hi, I have a SupaNova feeding my DAC, but is that the best use for it? Maybe I should use it for my AVR or 2CH amp instead? What's your recommendation for best usage if I got only one cable?
I use the Supanova with my DAC and then I use the iFi GND Defender with my tube amplifier that greatly reduces the noise floor.
