iFi iSilencer Max USB-C Noise Filter with ANC3
The iFi iSilencer MAX is a sophisticated USB-C noise filter designed to eliminate interference, jitter, and signal integrity issues in computer-based audio systems. It tackles noise originating from poorly filtered USB power supplies, restoring clarity, timing, and musical coherence. Featuring Active Noise Cancellation III (ANC3) technology, it actively cancels EMI and RFI noise at the source. REBalance Technology ensures the digital signal is identical to the original, while jitter elimination circuitry enhances dynamics and detail. It supports USB-C Power Delivery up to 100W and is plug-and-play.
