These multiple earth or ground points cause a ground loop problem. This creates an unwanted chain of noise, buzz and distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStruggle no more. iFi’s iDefender+ provides the simple, effective solution you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBreak the Loop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen plugged into the source device’s USB socket, the iDefender+ detects whether there is a ground loop problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt breaks the ground loop by ‘intelligently’ disconnecting the computer’s earth and, as well as eradicating audible ground-loop hum, it lowers the system noise floor, improving resolution and dynamic contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a USB DAC?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you using the iDefender+ with a DAC that relies on USB power from a computer rather than power from the mains or a built-in battery?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood news. The iDefender+ offers an additional benefit. If an external power supply is plugged into the USB-C socket on its side, it blocks power from the computer and instead feeds the DAC with ‘clean’ power from the external supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a high-quality, low-noise power adapter such as iFi’s iPower X is used, the performance of the USB DAC will be significantly improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew and Improved\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve upgraded the circuitry: low-ESR tantalum capacitors have been added for improved input and output filtering.
