Here’s SilentPower’s claim—the LAN iPurifier Pro employs galvanic isolation and signal regeneration to prevent upstream electrical noise from infecting your LAN-attached hifi and eliminate jitter and ‘errors’.
We’ve certainly this song before and using things like TP Link Fiber Media Converters have been on the Aufiophile Tweaker’s Guide for more than a decade. Silent Power’s new LAN iPurifier claims to offer “advanced optical galvanic isolation technology” that “prevents any noise from the LAN system from contaminating the stream or DAC.”
In addition, the iPurifier Pro is an active device offering “signal regeneration capabilities” that “eliminates all jitters and errors so listeners experience the music as clearly and correctly as possible.”
As regular readers know, I’ve had mixed results using Audiophile Ethernet Switches and my firm belief is that the performance of any and every LAN-based product including passive or active filters, cables, clocks and switches will be environment and system dependent since issues including noise and ‘jitter’ are environment and system dependent.
The SilentPower LAN iPurifier Pro is available direct from ifi-audio.com and selected retailers for $299.
Here’s the complete press release from iFi:
The Power of Silence: iFi Launches LAN iPurifier Pro Under New SilentPower Brand
Southport, UK – iFi Audio, a trailblazer in high-fidelity audio components, is proud to announce the launch of the LAN iPurifier Pro ($299 USD) as part of the new SilentPower brand. The revolutionary brand of power and signal solutions has been formed with the intention of delivering silence and pure clarity to audio systems across the globe. This allows audio connoisseurs to experience the best possible sound quality with no distortion or interference from the power supply or cables.
The SilentPower brand is categorized into four main segments: Power Supplies, Cables, Conditioners and Accessories. Each segment is meticulously engineered to deliver superior noise cancellation and power purity, ensuring that every audio experience is pristine and immersive.
iFi’s mission with SilentPower is to unlock the final 10-30% of your audio system’s potential by providing high-quality products to combat noise. The new brand embodies the perfect blend of innovation, affordability, and high-quality performance, with iFi striving to make innovative power solutions accessible and caters to a price-performance ratio, meeting the demands of music lovers, audiophiles, professional audio audiences, lab testing and medical sectors, and green energy suppliers.
Pat Wen, Director at iFi Audio commented: “We’re delighted to announce the SilentPower brand. Through our extensive research over the years, we found that due to noise interference found in either the power chain or the signal chain, many audiophiles feel their Hi-Fi systems sound dull and lifeless. Therefore, there has been increasing demand from the market for audio enhancers to deliver exceptional, lively sound”.
“To meet this demand for audio enhancer products and prioritize research and development, we’ve launched SilentPower as its own brand.”
LAN iPurifier Pro
The LAN iPurifier Pro offers a simple plug-and-play solution to what traditionally requires complex steps. Utilizing advanced optical galvanic isolation technology, it converts incoming LAN signals into optical (light) signals and back again, ensuring complete electrical isolation between input and output. This prevents any noise from the LAN system from contaminating the stream or DAC.
The LAN iPurifier Pro is an active device that also improves musical timing thanks to its signal regeneration capabilities. This eliminates all jitters and errors so listeners experience the music as clearly and correctly as possible.
Designed for speed without compromise, the LAN iPurifier Pro ensures transparent data transmission while meeting network connection standards, including 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), IEEE 802.3x standard, and supporting 1000/100/10Mbps. It is compatible with a wide range of network devices such as 4K media boxes and media streaming PCs.
