For Immediate Release:
iPurifier
Putting the analogue back into USB audio
London, U.K. – 20th December 2013
At the cutting-edge of computer audio technology, the iPurifier is another ‘USB audio-quality improvement’ product and a ‘world’s first.’ It is a USB audio + data active purification device:
- At the end of the ‘digital chain’ at the DAC USB port, the iPurifier enhances EVERY DAC.
- iPurifier cleans up the audio and power lines to put the ‘analogue’ back into USB audio.
- Handles ALL high-res audio formats: PCM/DSD/DXD (USB Audio Class 2.0 and beyond).
The USB standard was not designed for high-quality audio: audio/power/ground are all ‘lumped into’ one cable.
This is akin to placing audio interconnects and power cables together – which is far from ideal. Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) issues inevitably arise, characterised by a harsh, edgy sound.
The iPurifier cleans and filters at the end of the digital chain; just prior to the digital signal entering the DAC[1].
The specially-designed circuit restores the ‘signal waveform’ and puts the ‘analogue’ back into USB audio for a true, life-like presentation.

For maximum sonic results we recommend the iPurifier to be used together with the iUSB Power (for pure, clean power) and the Gemini Dual-Headed USB cable (to carry audio + power separately).
Future-proofed, it is able to handle high-resolution PCM/DSD and DXD: all DACs gain a sonic uplift.
