iFi iSilencer+
The iFi iSilencer+ is available in three versions, for different USB connector types (C-C, C-A, A-A). Please check the USB connectors on the cables/products where you intend to insert the iSilencer+, and make sure to order the correct version.
Does your USB audio system suffer from annoying background noise?
The new and improved iSilencer+ is a must if you want to enjoy vivid, open music.
Enjoy the ‘new’ silence.
Connecting audio gear via USB can have pros and cons. While capable of passing hi-res data at max resolution and allowing bit-perfect transfer, USB was not created specifically for audio.
It carries both power and data. It is susceptible to electrical noise, for example, from the computer’s power supply. This has a negative effect on sound quality.
Fear not! iFi Audio first banished these gremlins with the iSilencer3.0 and now, they are making silence sound even better with the iSilencer+.
Plug. Play. Pop free.
Electrical noise on USB causes errors, data loss and poor signal integrity. You will hear these as distortion – pops, clicks, and delays.
The iSilencer+ solves all this quickly and easily. It plugs directly into the USB port of your computer as a link between your computer and your DAC.
It will remove electrical noise, both EMI and RFI, at source. Your music will seem clearer, warmer, and more transparent with improved bass.
Double whammy.
As well as plugging the iSilencer+ into the active USB port between the computer and DAC, it can also be plugged into unused USB ports too. This will further reduce radiated EMI.
Each time the number of units (and therefore the number ANC II circuits) is doubled, noise reduction capability also doubles.
Double whammy.
Silence. Improved.
The iSilencer+ uses the latest Active Noise Cancellation II® technology. It decreases noise in a similar way to noise-cancelling headphones.
iFi Audio uses their REBalance® tech to get rid of clicks and distortion.
iFi Audio upgraded the circuitry; low-ESR tantalum capacitors have been added for improved input and output filtering. Filtering capacitance has been increased 10-fold.
Why iSilencer+?
iFi Audio have added several flavors – it 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
Features
Enjoy the silence! The Active Noise Cancellation II® (ANC II) tech means that measured noise drops by 100x or 40dB in comparison to the common noise filter.
REBalance® literally rebalances the signal to address the common problem of clicks caused by jitter. This is a form of digital distortion that leads to data ‘packet’ errors and cold harsh sound.
iFi Audio technology re-balances the signal to ensure that the digital signal received by the DAC is identical to the original source, no matter which audio format is being played.
‘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.
Based on military tech, the improved Active Noise Cancellation II® actively cancels all incoming noise.
It does this in a similar way to active noise-cancelling headphones – it generates a signal identical to that of the incoming electrical noise but in the opposite phase, actively cancelling it out. This is highly effective at removing low- and mid-frequency noise, while passive insulating filters deal with higher frequency interference. This combination is measurably more effective at eradicating noise corrupting the USB signal than devices relying solely on passive filtering.
