    Categories: Accessories, Power & Lighting, Power Conditioners SKU: iFi iDefender3.0

    Bah humbuzz!

    Annoyed by hum and buzz invading your listening?

    Using multiple plugs means separate earth points. These multiple earth or ground points cause earth/ground loops and create an unwanted chain of noise, buzz and distortion.

    Break the earth loop

    The iDefender3.0 plugs into your computer USB port and auto-detects if there is more than one earth and will ‘intelligently’ disconnect the computer earth for cleaner sound.

    Using a USB DAC?

    If your DAC is USB powered, the iDefender3.0 requires an external 5 volts to break the earth. It works pretty well with our 5-volt iPower (just saying!). Injecting clean power will ensure you get the maximum out of your USB audio.

    Inject 5 volts of clean power clean via the ‘separate’ micro port. This disconnects the USB power from the PC and replaces it with clean external power. For ultra-low noise, use our 5-volt iPower X.

    Adding the separate 5 volts to the unit is necessary to ‘break’ the earth/ground on USB-powered DACs. This is not required for DACs with an internally-powered USB section.

    So, why USB3.0? USB3.0 allows for a greater amount of audio transfer due to the better wiring specification. It is still backwards compatible with USB2.0.

    Kills USB power noise by ‘breaking’ the earth/ground loops in the correct way.

    It significantly reduces the system noise floor and makes for better dynamic contrast, warmth and resolution.

    Features & Specifications

    We’ve upgraded the circuitry; low-ESR tantalum capacitors have been added for improved input and output filtering. Filtering capacitance has been increased 10-fold.

    The iDefender+ now comes in 3 versions and includes the newer USB-C connector.
    USB-A to USB-A
    USB-C to USB-A
    USB-C to USB-C
