iFi Audio iPurifier3 - USB Purifier

 

The iPurifier3 delivers a comprehensive USB signal quality solution. From common electrical, protocol, data to EMI/RFI issues, the iPurifier3 solves them all, in one, thumb-sized design.

The iPurifier3 re-equalises unbalanced USB signals for an improved audio data stream and re-clocks, re-generates and repeates the USB audio data stream. The iPurifier3 simultaneously reduces the USB power supply noise by more than 100 times.

Features

  • REclock, REgenerate repeats the USB signal, eliminates USB jitter, frame and packet noise and restores USB signal integrity
  • REbalance corrects USB signal balance and impedance mismatch
  • Upgraded Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) military-grade circuit, which now has a wider operation band and reduces USB port audio band noise even further
  • New OS-CON and Tantalum capacitors for extra power filtering and smoothing
  • New high-precision MELF resistors for improved accuracy and stability
  • New gold-plated copper-alloy shielding to reduce EMI interference
  • USB Audio Class 2.0 (supports all formats)

 

Active Noise Cancellation® drawn from military radar technology

Drawing from the military field (specifically the Thales Spectra radar cancellation system deployed in the French Dassault Rafale jet fighter), iFi adapted this technology to exclusively introduce the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) audio power system. It is now a cornerstone of the ever-improving iFi USB audio technology, looking for new products to feature ANC,and ANC+. An air defence radar is transmitting at a certain frequency; the signal is bouncing off the aircraft; a receiver on board the aircraft picks up the signal and a computer analyses its base frequency/modulations and an identical, out-of-phase signal is generated by an on board system to cancel out the enemy radar signal. By generating a signal identical to the noise signal but in the exact opposite phase, it actively cancels all the incoming noise. ANC is the perfect ‘antidote’ for power supply noise, the bane of USB audio. ANC measured, noise drops by 100 times or 40dB in comparison to the Common Noise Filter. Sonically, the background and inner resolution to recordings is enhanced several levels.

 

REclock reclock/regenerate/repeat the signal

Re-clocking is beneficial to audio. REclock is a ‘3-in-1’ feature that re-clocks/re-generates/repeats USB audio datastream. For any and every downstream DAC, REclock technology eliminates jitter. Music flows better, is cleaner, deeper and tauter, just like the real thing.

 

REbalance rectify the unbalanced signal

A core element of the original iPurifier’s success was REbalance which has naturally been carried over to the iPurifier 2. By removing the DC offset and ‘re-balancing’ the USB audio signal, it is now perfectly balanced. As it purifies the USB audio data stream, this means noise is significantly reduced:

About iFi Audio

British-heritage maker of DACs, headphone amplifiers and streamers, from pocket dongles to home systems.

iFi audio is the sister brand of Abbingdon Music Research, which is headquartered in Southport, UK.

Home audio lines with clear names

The ZEN series includes the ZEN Air DAC, ZEN DAC, ZEN CAN, ZEN Phono and ZEN Stream. The iDSD series includes the Valkyrie, Phantom and Diablo, and the NEO range includes the NEO iDSD and NEO Stream. The iCAN Phantom and the Hip-dac sit alongside them.

Portable products for your phone or laptop

The GO series covers the GO pod, GO link, GO bar and GO blu, which are small units for phones and laptops. Larger portable models include the xDSD Gryphon. Bluetooth and USB-C versions mean you can choose the connection that matches the device you already own.

Cables and adapters complete the catalogue

iFi lists digital cables, audio cables and adapters in its accessories range, including the GO cable. These are the parts that link an iFi unit to the rest of your system, so you can pick up the right lead from the same brand when you buy the DAC or amplifier.

Why we stock iFi

iFi solve specific problems rather than selling you a whole system. Noise on a USB feed, a laptop that cannot drive your headphones properly, hum from a ground loop. Each unit does one job well at a price that does not require a long think, which is why they turn up in so many systems.

Results may vary 10 January 2025
At first, the sound was clearly distorted. It was a busy few days, and I listened only in the evenings and for a few hours a day.

On day 2, it still sounded distorted. On day three, it sounded normal—no better, no worse. Over the next few days, I thought I noticed better focus on the sound. On a particular album where the artist speaks into the microphone between songs, I noticed an obviously reduced boominess and less spottiness. It was a definite improvement that stood out to me. However, trying that again just now with a quick A/B, I could no longer perceive the difference.

I think the interference from which this is supposed to isolate the DAC will be a moving target, worse some days than others. After about 40 hours of use, I think the sound is a little clearer, less bloated, more airy, but perhaps, at times, not as relaxing to listen to.

Why 5 stars? It's well-made, looks nice, and is plug-and-play. It's definitely not doing anything wrong. I'm happy to keep it and am interested to see how it performs after I upgrade to a standalone DAC.

I have a TP-Link switch powered by the iFi Power X. This is connected to a NUC 11 running Roon via a Chord Clearway Streaming cable. A Chord Clearway USB cable with the iPurifier3 on the end connects the NUC to a Cambridge Audio CXA81.

The power supply and cable upgrades made bigger improvements.

Value for money is great 10 March 2023
This has reduced interference getting through the digital port in my system and allowed quieter details to appear easier.

It is highly recommended!

iFi Audio iPurifier3 - USB Purifier 13 December 2021
I am very dubious about these types of products as to if they really do anything at all. After reading lots of reviews and the fact that they offer a money-back guarantee, I thought I would try it.

After being in my system for a few weeks, I will not be returning this. Going from my computer to a Chord Qutest DAC, the difference it has made is very audible. Mid-range and top-end are a lot clearer and has reduced the sharpness. Bass has become more refined and deeper. It is a very inexpensive but effective upgrade for the price that it is.

Thank you for your great advice and service.

I did not expect too much from this device, but the bass has clearly improved, it has become more accurate, also the treble has become clearer, I am very happy with the purchase

Just what the doctor ordered! 19 March 2020
This unit makes a great equaliser for a noisy computer. What I've learnt from this is that even in the digital realm, source is just as important as your tape deck, record player etc. A computer is essentially a terrible mode of digital transport. Now I've heard this first hand through the ipurifier 3 it makes me wonder if there is any point spending more on DACs etc when your only going to feed them a pc signal. In short if your DACs value is under £600 and you are running a pc into it, this would be a very good investment. It's brought out the best in my system and really lets you hear what's doing what. Before the ipurifier 3 I used to think my headphones were a good match for my dac... With the ipurifier in place I can hear that that's just not the case and perhaps a slightly different DAC might be beneficial!. It just gives your system that little extra insight and resolution that you won't get by just upgrading other parts of your system. It will have varying degrees of effectiveness depending on the specifics of your system but overall I can only recommend this as the difference it brings is subtle but invaluable at the same time.
