Quiet as Battery Power, But Without the Hassle
Expensive audiophile gear typically ships with generic power supplies. This is like putting supermarket fuel in a Ferrari. Your gear deserves the best but isn’t getting it, and you're not getting top performance. To hear what you've been missing, you need the iPower Elite from iFi Audio. It gives your streamer, DAC, amplifier, and other components the silent, smooth, clean power of a battery, but without the hassle.
The first thing you'll notice about the iPower Elite is the impressive aircraft-grade aluminum chassis with built-in heatsink. Under the hood lies some serious hardcore technology, including a 60-watt high performance adaptive multi-mode controller, optimized for high efficiency, low standby power, and audio noise-free design.
Other advanced features include an advanced frequency shuffling technique to achieve excellent EMI performance, a 400% increase in power supply capacitance for the adaptive multi-mode controller, an oversized power MOSFET low-leakage transformer, and an RF designed PCB. It all adds up to an exceptionally quiet power supply with a whisper-quiet <1uV noise floor using cherry-picked components and the latest Active Noise Cancellation 2 circuitry.
1000x Lower Noise Floor
Generic SMPS power supplies are very noisy. Many upgraded audiophile linear power supplies are better, but they still have huge noise at rectification frequencies and at multiples of 50Hz, 100Hz, 150Hz, etc.
A typical power supply has an audio band noise floor of 1,000 microvolts (μV). An audiophile linear power supply is much better with typically a 100 μV noise floor, but it is still far from ideal. The iPower Elite has an audio band noise floor of only 1 μV, which is one thousand times lower than the noise floor of a typical power supply.
Active Noise Cancellation II® Technology
Based on military tech, iFi's improved Active Noise Cancellation II® actively cancels all incoming noise. It does this in a similar way to active noise-cancelling headphones. It generates a signal identical to that of the incoming electrical noise, but in the opposite phase, actively cancelling it out. This is highly effective at removing low- and mid-frequency noise, while passive insulating filters deal with higher frequency interference. This combination is measurably more effective at eradicating noise corrupting the USB signal than devices relying solely on passive filtering.
Hear the huge difference the iPower Elite can make. It works with virtually any DC powered device and comes in models offering 5-, 12-, 15-, or 24-volt power output.
