Features
- SuperSpeed USB 3.0 – ‘SuperSpeed’ USB 3.0 has a more exhaustive wiring specification which allows for a greater amount of audio transfer while still being backwards compatible. The units incorporate high-quality gold-plated connectors for optimal signal transfer.
- Breaking earth loops – 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.
- 5 Volts of Clean Power – Inject 5 volts of clean power via the ‘separate’ USB-C 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 Elite or iPower X.
Plug and Purify
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 a cleaner sound. It eliminates ground loops that keep the DAC from functioning properly and compromise the transparency of the restitution.
Block and Replace
On top of saving your computer from the unwanted earth, if your DAC is USB powered, iDefender3.0 can block the computer’s power supply and replace it by an external power supply. Injecting clean power will ensure you get the maximum out of your USB audio. It significantly reduces the system noise floor and makes for better dynamic contrast, warmth and resolution.
How do I use iDefender+
When plugged into your chosen USB port, the iDefender+ puts a stop to ground loop hum and lowers the noise floor resulting in audibly better resolution and dynamics.
