“As usual we have inserted the iPurifier2 between our USB reference cable the Silver-One by Portento Audio and our DAC – the Tobby by Firestone Audio. We burned-in for at least 48 hours before doing any critical listening……The music selection was based largely on high-resolution recordings of both rock music and electronic pop jazz characterized by a good dynamic range……We immediately noticed, to say the least, a more general focus on the sound message thanks to the better performance of the frequencies and the transients accuracy. In electronic music tunes, where the kickdrum and bass are predominant, the percussion instruments are noted for having greater incisiveness and depth of low frequencies as if the drivers of our headphones were shaken up in a clearer and stronger way……For this reason, the iPurifier2 is an essential accessory for digital audio via USB…… It may therefore be difficult to think that what it appears to be and I emphasize “appears to be”, looks like that only a small passive filter can really make a difference…..Well done iFi Audio!!!
