Ifi Spdif purifier

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.

Thanks for the insight on the Swagman LPS for the iFI spdif.  I got one a few months ago.  Really nice improvement.
