This is a review and detailed measurements of the ifi Zen Phono pre-amp. It is on kind loan from a member and costs US $199. As you can see, it comes in a similar case to other (newer) ifi line. And as with those, the white labels are not legible in all but one or two angles. The left switch...

This is a review and detailed measurements of the ifi DC iPurifier DC (power) filter. It is on kind loan from a member. The iPurifier costs US $99. Looks like there is an updated, iPurifier2 now. The ifPurifier is an inline DC filter. Power goes in, power goes out. I received a set of...

This is a review and detailed measurements of the ifi Zen balanced DAC and headphone amplifier. I purchased it from Amazon last week. The Zen DAC costs US $130 including free shipping. I must say, I am not a fan of the look of the Zen DAC. It hearkens back to 1960s furniture style which would...

So I wanted to use the iFi battery operated DACs for my desktop. I first hooked up the ifi iDSD Micro (silver). It played for a few hours and then it died with blinking red light (?) indicating battery is dead. So I then put the ifi Nano into service and it did the same thing. Seems like...

This is a detailed measurement and review of iFi iPurifier. This is a device that is advertised to clean up your coax S/PDIF signal from all ills including the common flu to audio distortions. It is a tiny little box the size of a thumb drive: Not shown is the fact that it actually needs...

I have yet to post the results of my iFi iPurifier S/PDIF filter review. Little did I know, it requires modifications to work well: http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/IFI_SPDIF_IPurifier.html :eek: Anyone know how I can secure these bits to make mine work better???

...there would be nothing else after that. But this is not ideal and we have harmonics of that tone going up way high in frequency. Your amplifier and speakers may "hear" those tones but your ears would not. In the audio band of 20 to 20,000 Hz, there are no anomalies. Note that we are...

The space issues had hit the smallest companies the worst where they were pushed into the tents in the parking lot. Mostly they were headphone companies. Not being in a market for headphones and not wanting to do the "community headphone" sharing, I just took some pictures and left. It is a...
