S/PDIF is the main digital audio output signal for devices such as Apple TVs, PS5, Xbox and 8K Smart TVs. Mainstream devices that output an S/PDIF signal typically suffer from really low-quality transmission due to huge amounts of jitter. Read: terrible sound quality. The SPDIF iPurifier2 solves spdif splutters.
Features:
At the heart of SPDIF iPurifier2 lays 10MHz Global Master Timing clock, which allows for full signal reclocking. This superior Femto
clock regenerates a stable, high-quality signal coming from a source device. Thanks to restored timing integrity the signal delivered to a receiver is not degraded by physical properties of
a source product or a cable in-between. It also serves as an internal buffer to perfectly time the bitstream.
The optical/Toslink input boasts the premium galvanic-isolation technology, where electrical circuits are separated to eliminate stray currents. Audio signals can pass between galvanically isolated circuits to block i.e. differences in ground potential or currents induced by AC power
Four large tantalum capacitors (100 uF) will reduce the EMI interference even further by improving the power supply signal. Due to their very thin and relatively high permittivity dielectric layer. These components gained significant recognition in audiophile circles. Tantalum capacitors also set themselves apart from their ordinary electrolytic counterparts by having high capacitance per volume (high volumetric efficiency).
iFi audio SPDIF iPurifier2 employs 'Bit Perfect' technology, hence it doesn’t involve over/upsampling of the signal. In other words, we appreciate the natural palette of sounds, which is why we purposely avoided digital processing. Both PCM and DSD signals are not altered in any way. In case of PCM stream, this approach is effectively called ‘non- oversampling’ or ‘zero-oversampling’, whereas for DSD it means that data retains its original format and is directly converted to analogue. The SPDIF iPurifier2 is compatible with MQA, DTS, Dolby Digital and DoP(DSD) signals and offers full HD support up to 192kHz.
