Ifi Spdif purifier

definitely

What the review doesn't mention is how the S/PDIF coax cable can affect jitter and the overall SQ. 
In my system using a PS Audio PWT and Audio Note NOS dac, the iFi plus LPS made a noticeable improvement. Music's more organic, spacious, has more weight, lower noise floor. I was using a variety of coax cables, always searching for one that would help achieve that analogue-like presentation.
I'm now using a High Fidelity CT-2 SPDIF and the improvement is astonishing. With this cable the sonic effect of the iFi is negligible. 

As a reminder, in the review the iFi was tested using a SMPS wall-wart. Not really a fair test for use in a high-end system. Even the designer of the Synchromesh recommends the use of a LPS.

lowrider57, did you special order the Swagman LPS with the mini USB to fit the iFi or had to cut&splice the cord?

This is the stock 5V unit. You have to special order the 5V Signature Edition.

It comes with the standard cable. The iFi comes with a USB adapter and plugs into the LPS cable. It's simple.

My experience was with a Wyred4Sound version of this, and yes it worked, but only on some DAC's.

When I upgraded to the Mytek Brooklyn, the benefit disappeared.

So this is very much dependent on the source. TV's, and cheap streamers are great candidates, and the DAC.
