Same love here for my Ifi spdif purifier 2. Great job showcasing great and overlooked products from ifi audio.
Thanks Mike! 👊🎼✨
Paul, Thank you for enlightening me with the IFI gear and your awesome B-tree!! I'm going to the link you gave us to look into buying one for my Zen listening area. Man, I appreciate your energy, knowledge, honesty, your way of reviewing things and kind ways-a good man I see and follow!
Thank you for all the work you put into producing your organic like videos - fun to follow you around the apartment with a view-
Kind regards to you,
A fellow audiophile, on the peninsula of the Bay Area (my wife just said, I want that Bonsai tree ;)

@@rickespinoza5833 Thanks Rick! Here is the link for the tree, they ship! Ask for Larnell, tell him Paul from TH-cam sent ya.
Thanks for watching always! 👍🎼💯✨

I've been using an ifi purifier 3 between my streamer and Chord M-scaler for about 18 months now and can discern an overall improvement - a slightly more fleshed out and organic sound; not 'night and day' but well worth the modest investment imo.
I got 2 ifi spdif purifier. I agree with your description. I initially got mine out of necessity. The coax signal, coming out of the Node 2i would not lock with some DAC’s (Burson and Musical Fidelity). After putting in the iFi SPDIF, the DAC would lock immediately to the reclocked signal, and I then noticed the sound improvement as you mentioned. Highly recommend a little device!
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching always, Audiorick!!👍🎼✨
I enjoyed your review. I also run the iFi SPDIF purifier in to my Chord QUTEST DAC and I agree it is a worthwhile audio tweak. I swapped out the iFi switch mode power supply that comes with it for a LHY AUDIO BATT-1 battery power supply that completely eliminates any noise from the power supply and this made a pretty good improvement to performance of the purifier. Added benefit of the iFi product was that I am able to run my TOSLINK output from my DSP device in to the BNC/SPDIF input of my CHORD DAC with inherent improvement using that input. Incremental improvements but they all add up in the end.
@ginovairo6487 Nice! 👍🎼💯✨
It is always nice to hear from you.
Ifi are based in Southport, Lancashire uk, about 15-20 miles from where I live, near Liverpool
Just listening the hi-hats alone makes a noticeable difference!
Yup! Thanks for watching Iron_Panda!
👌🎼✨
THANKS PAUL,🤗 for sharing your thoughts and efforts with us, and we HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR SYSTEM,as much as possible 😎💚💚💚
Thank you for the support always my Audiophile friend! 😉👊💯🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 WELCOME 🤗
What a beautiful view of the city you have 🤩👌
Thank you for watching Francisco!
🙏🏻💯🎼✨
@vpconcepts Love your videos ...Keep it up
I have ifi DC blockers in all my components and some have an audio lab dc blocker too. Nearly every nod I’ve done I’ve heard improvements. Antivibration can make a big difference too. Don’t assume one tweak is enough. Better sound is all about purity. Reducing sources of signal corruption.
Yes, all my videos & tweaks show that too.
👍💯🎼✨
The after…sounded like a bridge from jazz to orchestra” with that Bolero riff that is beautifully distinct.
👌💯🎼✨
Wow great video. Changes even heard over TH-cam. Is there a difference over the optical out from your TV to soundbar setup? To hear any improvements
Could be! But I don't want to spend another $300 to find out, LOL! 🤷♂️🎼✨
Great review, thanks.
I run the IFI Go Blue on my IEM’s and it’s SPECTACULAR 😊
I was using it today! Ever since they did the firmware update adding the green filter, it's amazing 😁👌💯🏆🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 haven’t done the upgrade..but I’m very happy with what I’ve been getting 😋
@@carminedesanto6746 Seriously? Bro it's next level once you do that update. I'm talking MUSICAL! I hope you like it too 😁👌✨
incredible!!! I am wondering how living in an apartment you can actually enjoy decent listening volume. I have a modest 60 w/ch Emotiva with a small sub and Focal Chorus 706 speakers and I cant turn it up at all
It's Seattle, Cement floors & ceilings...earthquake proof! 😂👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 awesome. I did acoustic foam and bass traps so they helped a little and so far, my neighbors have not complained but I don't push 80db often. Enjoy, I just started watching your videos because I was looking at the IFI stuff
Thank you, much appreciated 👊💯🎼✨
Happy New Year from Scotland 🏴.
Your system sounds excellent. Just watched all the way through and given you a like.
Thanks for another interesting post. As a result of your experience, I'm hoping to try some of the ifi gear in my more modest system in the year to come.
Jim 🏴🙂
Hello from Seattle Jim! Honestly, I don't know how Ifi flew under the radar with me for so long. Sooo much upgrade for so little price. 👌💯🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 you've certainly brought them to my attention, thank you. 👍
Jim 🏴🙂
let me ask you a question please can you hook the USB silencer in parallel together for even better sound?
I have combined products before with great results, other times it did not mesh. I would test it & see if the sound is to your liking.
👍🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 have you ever tried the jitterbug with the silencer together?
hi i love ifi .i have the isilencer ,ipurifier they are great .but my best ifi component is the itube 2,it uses a nos ge (general electric usa 70's)tube and i'm a tube guy(mostly guitar amps) so let me tell you that even on the best 100k tube gear you get chinese/russian tubes, but on a 350$ tube preamp you can get one of the best tubes ever made and it will last 10000 hours.
so for the desktop system i highly recommend the itube and also the schiit audio loki eq.
You're like my electronic idol. You have connector going into connector with an extra connector for good measure. Can you imagine the plug-in string finally getting to 2 feet? lol But you finally got the natural sound baby!
Yup! Each interconnect has a different job to do and each one of these devices brought things to life for sure! 😉👌💯🎼✨
Happy with my iFi additions thus far
You made the video I’ve been hoping someone would do on these little iFi devices!
Your experiences largely mirror mine!
One little contribution I might offer is the better the power supply you have on the iFi spdif iPurifier 2, the more audiophile it becomes. I heard someone in a review suggest this, so picked up the next level up iFi iPower X 5v, and more refinement :) ✨✨
Cool to see this gem up the game of your high end gear!
I’m also running an iFi iPurifier 3+ usb off my iMac and it did the same for that source more relaxed refined.
I’ve used the iSilencer 2or3? In this chain right off the iMac as well, it did change the character of my dacs sound, but like you, adding the iPurifier usb refocused and enhanced the digital signal making the iMac much more of an audiophile sounding source+++
If you haven’t already, you might try the appropriate for your main speaker weight Isoacoustics Gaia feet. Not cheap, but surprisingly positive potentially.
Cool channel and appreciate your ear and sharing your audiophile journey with us!
Absolutely Scott, and thanks for sharing your experience! 👍🎼💯
upgrade the DC power supply to the Spdif ipurifier femto clock, get the iFi iPower-X replace the stock psu.
2nd, add-on 1 more iFi iDefender + iPower-X 5V attach with the isilencer. 😎😏
I tried the new Holo Audio Red zero jitter streamer to the Peachtree GaN1. Very impressive - the Red replaced a linear power supply, streamer, a cable and a DDC.
tHE 2ND DEMO SOUNDED RICHER, MORE PRESENCE, CLEANER, better details and sound stage.
Agreed! 👊🎼💯✨
We love ❤️ the bonsai tree 🌳
Hello. Thanks for your review. Going to try the iPurifier2 . I read the info and now understand why my optical output from my smartTV is not so great. Been using ifi's products to filter background noise in AC current. It really makes a difference. Try the supanova AC cable. Really worth a listen. There are others too...
Awesome! Thanks for watching Shaun!
👊🎼💯✨
They can improve the sound. I can hear Tony details more clearly now. Even some I missed before are now apparent. Most people underestimate the effect of tweaks in general.
👌💯🎼✨
Hard to tell not being in the room, but to my ears the 'after' sound is more compressed, forward, and brighter, if also more dynamic.
I tried the Ipurifier for USB a few years ago and had a similar experience with the sound becoming brighter and somehow thinner. It was not to my taste and I put it in the drawer.
I actually prefer your 'before' recording, even if it seems initially a bit less dynamic. Even though I'm older and my ears have a more difficult time capturing the upper frequencies, I am still sensitive to 'too bright' sounds.
But, we all have our preferences.
Thanks for the input Stephen! 👌🎼✨
Stephen! After this conversation, later that evening. I sat down for a listen & realized I had bumped one of my stillpoint on the front right of my cd player when dusting last. I put it into position and BAM! Smoothness back. It still sounded much better than without, but now adjusted, that opening intro drum has its sense of space back. You have a great ear my friend! 👌💯🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Wow. Glad to help out. Take care.
Paul, I am a fellow 206er thats been subbed to your channel for awhile. Ifi has been around way before the pandemic. Many of my portable hifi rigs have Ifi amp-dacs on them. Ifi gear is the truth and they put out lots of high level gear...they have put out so many items that have come in gone since 2013 its outstanding, I vouch for lots of their gear, for I have bought well over 10 of their items over the years---and their gear is over-engineered and built to last. You get your money's worth with their stuff, especially on a budget or not.
Go Hawks!
Yes, the rep was telling about AMR shutting down to focus only on Ifi. It could have been sooner like the 2008 recession. He just mentioned a brief history overview with no dates. I'm really glad you have had a great experience with Ifi as a company and I really appreciate you keeping tabs on my channel. I hope to bring more opportunities to try new products into the future. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
Thanks for another interesting video, It's always fun to see you smiling when you are enjoying the system and music . . . Rock on dude ! Would you go over some of your interesting Kitchen appliances as a side note ... What are your frequent haunts in your neighborhood there in Seattle ? Go Blue !
I need to start a kitchen channel, just for my Ninja cooking knife set! 😂
Thanks for watching Michael! 👌🎼✨
Great video! Ifi are a phenomenal company. Where did you get those wall panels? i've been looking for something similar
Thanks James! Here is my video on them. Click on the link in the video description to buy. Enjoy! 👌🎼💯✨

I'd love to know how you've cleverly hidden your side and rear speakers.
@@ZeekMX I wish I had room for surround sound in here! Thanks for watching!
🤣👌🎼✨
A coax spdif reclocker using high end clocks with an external power source (using ifi low noise power adapter or a LPS) will further increase the quality of your chain. It sounds great btw!
I have one in this video! It's amazing! 👌🎼💯✨
Once you GO Fischer & Fischer Audio Speakers with Cabinets made of SLATE you NEVER GO B A C K 😇🙂This is the closest your going to get to a Live Event in your room when you match them with Burmester Gear !😉
I'm glad you enjoy your system as much as I enjoy mine. Thanks for watching rickp!
👊🎼💯✨
Thanks Paul, nice video again. Brings me to two questions. Would playing Apple Music from my iPad (with USBC!) into a DAC (I have the E50 Topping) give a better sound quality than through my iMac(also USBC connected). The reason why I ask is that on a Mac you cannot bypass the AUDIO/Midi stage; the iPad gives 'exclusive mode'. Curious about your thoughts. Secondly, would the iSilencer connected to my iPad give me any improvement on SQ ?
Hi Peter. Using the tidal app on my computer gives me exclusive mode, however I find my tidal app through my cell phone sounds better streaming through the electrocompaniet than my iMac does by just a bit. For the silencer+ I am using USB A, so you made need a A to C adapter for the iPad to use it, but yes, I would think it would make a difference. 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Thanks Paul. Can you explain why through your cell phone it's sounds better ? Is there a technical reason for this ?
I think maybe running off battery power and not the house line. 👍🎼✨
I use Audirvana on my Mac. This software bypasses the Mac midi internal mixing for a noticeably better SQ. Some say Mac with Audirvana surpasses streamers like Bluesound node.
@blue6point62 I used to use it and didn't like it's sound. Probably has had a lot of updates since then! I'm glad you found your audio bliss! 👌💯🎼✨
Interesting got to try one or maybe I go for optic wire
Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for watching! 👍🎼💯✨
Nice to see a Scandinavian dac in USA I’m from Sweden
Thx for that; gonna try the Isilencer for the MacBook Pro!
Awesome! Huge upgrade for the money. Make sure to get the plus version Isilencer+
Thanks for watching Mikeey! 👌🎼✨
Sounds so clear
Thanks for watching! 👍🎼✨
Video quality is great too. 😊
the itube has only rca in and outs you can use it with everything,
Hey Paul, should I focus on improving my amps first or my pre-amp?
Jim how you been! LOL! Man it's been a minute since we worked together at Premier. You still racing motorcycles? Go for the best amp as your foundation, and work your way up from there. 😁👌💯🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Hey Paul, yes to motorcycles and I just put a question out there for you. I always would upgrade the amp first!!!! Hope all is well with you.
I'm glad I got the answer right 😂
& I wish you all the best in real estate!
👊🏆💯✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Same to you.
I think reclocking the USB line can help: my Auralic Vega has different clock precision modes and on "exact" it would have consistent issues syncing with a Windows PC in normal operation, but adding a wyred4sound recovery, which has a femto clock and psu, radically reduced the drop outs and raised the sound quality.
I have the spdif iPurifier2 from a Cambridge Azur 350c going into the same Auralic Vega on exact, and it's the best digital combo I have by a parsec -- truly astounding considering how mid-fi the Cambridge is otherwise.
W4S recovery -> DDC -> Vega works fine too, and I have like 16 total feet of USB cable going on, lol
It's a great audio tweak for sure! 👌🎼💯✨
@@vpconcepts9838I need to revise what I said about USB reclocking: it undeniably helped the 2012 xmos USB receiver chip in my Auralic Vega (I can't find the exact model #, but it would've been their best in a $3.5k DAC back then), BUT I just removed the w4s recovery from my current setup with a topping D10s used as a toslink out and powered with an ifi idefender +/ifi ipower x combo, and harshness I heard with the USB reclocker there, which I originally attributed to the cheap topping, is now gone.
So yeah, if you have a DAC with an old USB chip, just get a decent DDC with good power.
The topping D10s has an xmos xu208, the same as the douk audio solution in your laptop setup. I should have mentioned that before.
Full setup I'm listening to atm is: win 10 PC -15ft powered USB cable with an ifi ipower V2 -> ifi idefender + w/ifi ipower x -> Paul pang tz yun 3ft silver plated ofc USB cable -> topping D10s -7in toslink-> Auralic Vega -5ft dimazio xlr-> Schiit Jotunheim 2 -zmf stock ofc xlr-> zmf verite headphones w/verite pads
I also have an Eddie Current Balancing Act, but just don't feel like using tubes rn. The Schiit Jotunheim 2 is way more than resolving enough to show that the w4s recovery was doing *something* wrong.
I also had a 9v ifi ipower x on the w4s recovery, so the with and without scenarios are controlled for in that regard
Darkness! I see you're a man of culture.
Sure am 😉👌💯✨
Greetings my PNW neighbor! It’s a striking difference, even over TH-cam! You have any experience with Clarus power conditioners? I can get a hold of Concerto CP-8 from work at a good rate. You attending the Pacific Audio Fest in June, at the Doubletree-Hilton in Seattle? My work may be sending a group of us up from Oregon. It’d be cool to meet up if things were to line up.
What's up Nathan! I just got an Audience AV line conditioner for the computer set up last month. I have PS Audio in my big rig. Not looking to upgrade that (yet) but any donations to the cause is always appreciated! LMAO. I sure would like to do the audio show this year since I couldn't make it last. Happy New Year! 👊🎼💯✨
When a guy boasts about the value of a 150$ product installed on a hifi system worth tens of thousands of dollars, you know it's worth it :D
Yup! And so far every Ifi piece I've installed on all my setups, including the GoBlu, are working 100% a d glitch free. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
Hi Paul, thanks for posting videos about your system and talking about it in depth.
I have a question... If you had to choose between connecting your Network Streamer/Player with a 5$ - 20$ or something dollar Ethernet cable OR with a capable Wifi connection (5Ghz for example) what would you choose in that situation with a high end playback system?
I understand that ethernet cables can carry noise with them from poor power supplies from the router sending the signal physically into the cable or because of the shielding of the cable.. wathever... I only understand it intuitively in a common sense manner myself anyway... not an expert.., hence the reason why iFi sells purifying adapters, I assume. So if I can't yet afford such an adapter, is then wifi a better option since it is not physically connected to the system?
I understand that there are very expensive 1000 dollars ethernet cables and I'm sure differences can be heard. Watching a few of your cool videos has convinced me that it is so otherwise you wouldn't have put a system like yours together.
Thanks again and cheers !
@@salomon_CGuitarist You bet! Use this with a standard cable & it will work wonders.

@@vpconcepts9838 Excellent ! thanks for the tip, I will certainly give it a try with the suggested burn in time. Cheers !
@@salomon_CGuitarist It works, it even improved my picture quality on both my Roku and BuzzTV streamers. A worthwhile upgrade that delivered.
Try the iFi AC iPurifier. You should get 2 to start off with. It will give you a bit of extra clarity. I have 8 of them for my 3 systems. All additional systems will also be using at least 2 of them. It is a no brainer.
I have one, it didn't work in my setup. Waiting for version 2 to come out. Thanks for watching! 👍💯🎼✨
I might just rty the IFI unit. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for watching Buddy! 👌🎼✨
I mistakenly plugged the ipurfier dc 2 into this ac adapter because its pins are quite similar. will it damage my ipurfier 2. Operation time is 5 minutes. my dc ipurfier is hot.
Adapter ac 6v/1.5A
which city is that? looks nice
Seattle 🎼✨
Get a 43 ohm interconnect cable for your turntable and type deck, belden 43ohm 19pF/1000ft shielded microphone cable with 50 ohm RCA plugs. Same for your digital coaxial signal get a 93 ohm cable
Thanks Hoobs! I'm using Kimber Kable's $2,300 Phono CU on the TT, and their $1,300 select 1801 WBT for the cassette player. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 yeah I don't know they don't give spec so I can't say on that cables yeah WBT is good but you have to make sure it's 50 ohm not a 75 ohm plug they do both ideally change to BNC if you can a much better connector and plug
great info bro, is the Belden 1812A ok for a turntable? Thanks!
@@net_news I had a look it might be ok very low impedance 23 ohms it would probably work very well between turntable and preamp making the cartridge more sensitive, but run long distance like 10 m should boost up the treble and the bass, but I'm not sure about as interconnects for other parts of the equipment. you want to stick to 43 -47 ohms but give it a go see not tried it that low so who knows!
@@hoobsgroove thanks my friend, gonna give it a try! THANKS!
Interesting Thanks
The MAC & Sonus Faber's sounded much better over TH-cam in this example, very strange as the Electrocompaniet and Mcintosh shoudl've came across much fuller, it was sadly very thin and clinical sounding. I'm enjoying your video's I stumbled across you this morning and the Ifi LAN enhancer. Possibly I'll have a look in the future, I have gone the ethernet cable and CVT route and I'm having incredible results :)
Awesome to hear! I can assure you that in real life it is very rich & full sounding. I realized I've had "stereo sound" selected in my iPhone settings & that is now turned off. Should come in great next time I record a song. Happy New year! 🥂🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 hehe such is life! I've picked up an affordable MIc for mine the Soundman OKM Classic solo D1 works with the iphone to and is an amazing mic for recording audio 😊 it comes with the DAC that plugs directly into the phone! Worth a look 😆
Very nice 😉👊🎼✨
Paul, a little terminology clarification...ambiance-rather a mood or feeling in a room like candlelight. ambience...the spaciousness of sound in a room so as to define the dimensions of the room a recording was made. ambient sound. it was defined early on in the absolute sound magazine.
...hifitommy
Referring to what part in my video? 🤔
@@vpconcepts9838 ..@~16:54 in the yt, you say the word...ambiance...regarding the sound. this is where the distinction is. it should be ambience which doesn't imply mood or feeling, but the spaciousness of the sound itself as it is more ambient.
i hope that helps. i know that spell check will correct it to ambiance but that is a problem with spell check.
i enjoy your real-world demos of application rather than the stereo store seller/salesman that comes through on some of the YT episodes.
...hifitommy
Yes, the Ifi spdif purifier added a taller, deeper, & wider soundstage that enveloped the listening area. In my Pat Metheny Tro-Live album for example, this created a sense of ambiance in the room as the plates were clinking with silverware in the audience as they ate, putting me in the space of the actual performance, giving me an "I was there" impression. If I didn't convey that correctly at that time stamp, my apologies. 👌💯🎼✨
Curious…. Why not just get a tripod and phone plate, and vlog w both hands free if your not moving around much like this vid?
Enjoying the vids nonetheless
Got a tripod but I move around too much. I like the POV style of my videos & they get the most love, comments, and views. Just keeping it real! 👌💯🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 - awesome, my friend. You know what works for you.... :) just thought it might be easier on you. all good. Love the product you put out either way!
🙏🏻🎼✨
This raises the question why don't high end audio makers build this technology into their products?

Thanks Ed! That was a CD I played for the demo. The record you see in on the TT is a dust cover for the platter ( a blank) . Thanks for watching always! 👌🎼✨
nice setup, dual subs are deff better
I would get kicked out of my lease!
😂👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 No, at low volume its great . seems like your all in might as well being who and what you are , i have allot going on w my system but keep the DBs in the 80's ,i remember the smile that drifted ear to ear when I add the second svs 16 to my system im just saying , keep up the good work i appreciate your content and utmost love for music. i have about 18,000 watts across 3 -20 amp circuits in my home , (1)2 powered pb16 5000 w max each (2) 2 amps for my theater 3 & 6 channel and (3) 2 dj amps for my 8 transducer setup that draws 21amps right there , some guys like horsepower/ db's and some prefer Torque / Amps. Ive employed a few IFI products and they do work , purifier to my Router power and coax , ifi to my streamer also a linkup 8k ethernet cable mattered to me . ifi ac purifier into free outlet lowers the noise floor , put volume to max with no feed and bury your head in the speaker you should hear the amplifier amplifying .0001distortion then plug in a IFI to an outlet in the same circuit you will hear a diff . I like stuff that works and know that works sometimes you turn me onto something in your vids , thanks . i know you dont run coax cable on your system but if you did they sell galvanic isolators for coax and they really work and keep the cable companies miles of grounding issues interfering with your system just keep that in the back of your mind I dont know if you have one on your modem , PS sells them for 50 there just as good on amazon for 25
Actually I am running a digital coax in my big system. Last Fridays TH-cam video I posted highlights it. It's ifi & it is a galvanic isolator and Femto clock. Your system sounds amazing Maria!
ifi is a cheap company. Their customer service is a joke. Email-only. You have to wait 24 hours before any type of response. When you do hear back you will wait another 24 hours for questions unanswered or confused with what is wrong. Let me give an example. I purchased the ifi UNO, "DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY"! There are 3 EQ settings: gaming, Video, and Music. There is no difference in sound.
I mentioned this to Jon and Nick the 2 customer service reps from ifi. Talk about clueless, neither one had a straight answer. So another 24 hours goes by until they sent me a list of checks to perform. After reading the checklist the UNO is designed for windows or PlayStation. Sorry, I run MAC! ifi does not have any type of software to run on apple products. This I was told by Jon. Really?
As for vpconcepts using the line conditioners on his laptop and home system, sure it's going to work some of the wiring used is not oxygen-free pure copper windings, cheap wire from China
I'm sorry to hear your struggle ZeroCool!
I've had great customer support & all items work as promised, actually above my expectations. The components inside are audiophile grade & they list them all on the website page of each product. I did have issues with the Go Bar not working with my iPhone, yet I've had subscribers say no issues on theirs. My Go Blu has been 100% solid with daily use.
In my experience, It's common for customer support to take 24hrs to get back to you with most audio companies, since it's often Reps that get back to you in this industry. I'll take that over a call center like Sony any day! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience with us ! 👌💯🎼✨
