Key Features

• Bit-Perfect Architecture: A true high-res network bridge that passes the digital audio signal completely unaltered, ensuring the DAC receives an identical, bit-for-bit match of the original file.
• Exclusive Streaming Modes: Hardware and software dedicated specifically to individual platforms including Roon, Tidal Connect, DLNA, and HQPlayer NAA for the purest possible signal path.
• Active Noise Cancellation II (ANC II): Applied to the USB ports to actively detect and cancel out incoming electrical noise, significantly lowering the noise floor and improving dynamic contrast.
• GMT Femto-Precision Clock: Features iFi’s proprietary Global Master Timing clock system to eradicate digital timing errors and jitter, delivering a phenomenally smooth and natural soundstage.
• Advanced Connectivity: Outfitted with lightning-fast Wi-Fi 6 (Dual-band 802.11ax) and a Gigabit Ethernet port for ultra-stable, high-bandwidth streaming of heavy DSD and PCM files.
• iPurifier S/PDIF Output: The coaxial digital output features built-in iPurifier technology to re-clock and regenerate the signal, guaranteeing absolute purity when connecting to non-USB DACs.
