Pristine sound from your computer
Do you use your computer as a source of hi-fi music? Then check out this compact and solidly built device from iFi Audio. The nano iGalvanic3.0 goes between your computer and your outboard DAC to clean up the sound of your digital music files. It uses a design concept known as "galvanic isolation": isolated circuits strip away any noise caused by grounding issues and other electrical problems, allowing only the digital audio signal to pass through.
Electrical grounding problems come in many forms. The nano iGalvanic3.0 has a three-position Ground Link® switch that helps cover a range of scenarios. iFi suggests starting with this switch in its default center position ("Full Isolation" mode) before trying the other settings ("DC to RF soft ground-link" and "RF soft ground-link" modes).
A low-noise power supply
There's no need for outboard power adapters. The nano iGalvanic3.0 is powered by your computer's USB port. A USB 3.0 port works best, but USB 2.0 is also supported. iFi uses an ultra-low-noise, audiophile-grade power supply to ensure that your music emerges from a dead-quiet background.
An end to jitter
Audio files stored on a computer run the risk of being affected by timing errors, known as "jitter," which can muddy sonic details in the music. iFi's solution to this problem is to completely re-clock and re-create the USB audio signal from scratch with their proprietary REclock, REgenerate and REbalance2® technology. In fact, the nano iGalvanic3.0 does this twice, on both sides of the galvanic isolation circuitry. The result is a clear, jitter-free audio signal that makes your music sound its best.
