iPurifier3
SKU: 03-06-029-0002-00
Key Features
Vishay MELF Resistors
These metal electrode leadless face resistors have excellent accuracy, stability, reliability, and pulse loadcapability. They provide optimal power rating and pulse load capability.
100x Noise Reduction
Enjoy the silence! Our Active Noise Cancellation II® (ANC II) tech means that measured noise drops by 100x or 40dB in comparison to the common noise filter.
Cleaner and Clearer Music
REclock2, REgenerate2, REbalance2® – cleaner, clearer music. The 2nd generation of this technology creates an all new signal, eliminates computer jitter and removes noise contamination to restore a ‘balanced’ signal.
How do I use the iPurifier 3?
Plug in between your laptop and DAC
Plug in between your PC and audio interface
Plug in betwen your PC and USB microphone
The white knight
The third generation and slightly larger reincarnation of the iPurifier measures just 69 x 19 x 20mm in its new, dashing white armour. Both Type A and B are available.
It uses iFi Active Noise Cancellation2 tech to decrease noise by 100x or -40dB in comparison to the common noise filter.
Dashing. Durable.
The iPurifier3 is set up for all future PCM, DSD and DXD formats. And it’s not just better looking on the outside, it’s been improved on the inside with updated components. No need to worry about upgrading for years to come.
It will improve your USB audio playback experience faster than you can say King Arthur and the Round Table.
Product Reviews
★★★★★With the iPower2 the noise disappeared completely with the volume at maximum! That silence is what I expected. I heard the music better! The ZEN Air phono with the addition of the iPower2 goes from being a surprising device for the price, to being surprising for its performance
Guido Ruiz Barría, Surcos de Jazz
★★★★★The iPower X fever-level transformers introduced this time provide the purest DC power supply equipment. Power supply, iPower X is an AC / DC transformer with extremely low noise. Its small volume is filled with a lot of ifi Audio’s exclusive technologies and fever materials
My HiEND Magazine
★★★★★I believe it is a great everyday carry accessory not only for sensitive IEM/Headphone users but also for beefy headphone amplifier owners who would like to hook up their IEMs to these amps and crank the volume as far as they can. The iEMatch 4.4mm gets the highest recommendation I can give to an audio accessory.
Sajid Amit
★★★★★The iPurifier 3 is a USB gadget that reclocks, regenerates and has a rebalance tech, it incorporates a active noise cancelation technology that works impressively, a revised and upgraded version of the last itineration of their iPurifier 2 I also own, as always the unbox experience of the package from iFi products is very specia

iPurifier 3 Quick Start Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
That is correct. The iUSB 3.0 can do everything the iPurifier 3 + iUSBPower Micro combination can do and then some.
The iPurifier 3.0 + iUSBPower Micro, when set up correctly, delivers a major proportion of the improvement from the iUSB 3.0.
If you have the original, we recommend that you only try the iPurifier 3 first with the existing iUSBPower Micro.
Don’t upgrade to the iUSB3.0 (unless you need two sets of ports and any other additional functionality).
For anyone with an existing iUSBPower Micro, adding an iPurifier 3 is a cost-effective way to get a substantial performance upgrade while retaining existing equipment.
The iPurifier 3 is basically “device agnostic”. It acts as a USB repeater, and is as such, not “aware” of the signals passing through it.
If there are compatibility problems, check if you’re using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on the PC/laptop. Some older USB 3.0 chip-sets mess up critical timing. If used on a USB 3.0 port, try a USB 2.0 port.
If you continue to have issues, please open a support ticket.
A standard 10 metre USB cable will not carry the audio signal properly (it will not work well) but by adding the iPurifier 3, it will actively repeat the signal and extend the run. Therefore, by adding 2 x 5 metre USB cable lengths, then it is definitely possible to use the iPurifier 3 in the centre to extend the USB run.
So by adding it to the middle, the chain will look like this: 5m USB cable > iPurifier 3 > 5m USB cable, which results in a 10m USB cable run.
The iPurifier 3 does not affect audio signal levels at all (it cannot).
The iPurifier 3 will introduce additional latency in the region of a few 100 microseconds or say around 0.3 milliseconds give or take a little.
For music production etc. the ASIO or WASAPI driver is the main contributor to latency, seconded by the digital filters in ADC and DAC.
The added latency by an iPurifier 3 is minimal by comparison.
USB 2.0 is required to offer 100% compatibility with USB 1.0 and 1.1.
So yes, all iFi USB products are compatible with USB 1.0.
Our intentions was to create the 4 USB connections however we found that type C and micro USB connection maybe too fragile therefore the type A iPurifier 3 can be used with a short adapter that can convert to type C or Micro.
The iPurifier 3 draws probably around 120mA as it runs a complete USB 2.0 reclocker/repeater.
The iPurifier 3 will mainly help devices that use the isochronous transfer (audio & video in essence), it may (or may not) help with devices that use bulk transfer (hard-drives etc.).
