Thank you for the input Bansaku, i Will wait for their response for my ticket and return the unit.

Yup, please do and our tech team will get back to you shortly after weekend.

Looking forward to this against the Wyred 4 Sound Remedy which does resample everything to 96KHz.

It can be set to no upsampling, bit-perfect Redbook.

My SPDIF iPurifier2 RCA output stopped working yesterday. I reconfigured some pathways and the iPurifier2 RCA output is now the only path not locking signal. The iPurifier2’s optical output is working just fine.

I’ve tested on another DAC. Same results. Optical works from iPurifier2. RCA output does not.

I’ve triple checked all connections, and moved the iFi power source to another power strip. No RCA output.

Any reports of the RCA output plug end of the iPurifier2 failing? With optical still functioning normally.

That seems odd and I'm sorry to hear that your iPurifier stopped working as intended. Can you please let our tech team know about this on our support platform here: https://support.ifi-audio.com

Thanks!

Does anyone have experience on how good is a spdif purifier compared to a usb-to-spdif converter? Does a converter "purifies" the signal to some extent? Is ipurifier2 useful when connected to the output of a converter?

I tried the SPIDF Purifier and I honestly hated it. I thought it removed all the dynamics from the audio and flattened out the sound considerably. I returned mine. I was hoping for an experience like the iPurifier models but that didn't happen.

@iFi audio The SPDIF iPurifier2 is nearly 10 years old. When do we see an improved / updated version ?

Hello,
i have a question, i have the IFI Purifier 2 and haven't listenend to it for some time now.
I've plugged it into my Schiit Modi and the sound was terrible. Mostly the cymbals were so metallic and artificial.
Now my question is has someone also made the same experience?
Do i need to burn it in?
Like i said the difference is strongly noticable and metallic.
Edit: after some usage it settled down

No, if anything, on my equipment, it's always made the cymbals less metallic.

Yeah, it settled down already
