SilentPower by iFi know how crucial it is for you to immerse yourself in your favourite music.

Ground loops cause interference and noise through multiple paths to ground in your system. Diagnose them by touching a metal chassis and listening for changes. If theres no change, you likely have a ground loop. The iDefender Max eliminates this noise by disconnecting the PCs earth.

The iDefender Max intelligently removes excess ground connections without compromising safety. It supports up to 100W (20V/5A), expanding compatibility beyond USB DACs. Its aluminum housing enhances cooling and shields against EMI. The side USB-C port allows for clean external power, and USB 3.0 high-speed data transfer ensures flawless hi-res audio playback.

Pure, pristine sound awaits.
