Mercury USB Cable 1M
Generic USB cables can have a negative effect on your music.
Meet Mercury, created by iFi to give you maximum signal transfer and minimum interference.
Looking for maximum signal transfer from your cables, then the iFi Mercury cable is for you.
Standard mass-produced cables normally have the signal and power cables compacted closely together. This hinders conductivity and often results in poor signal transfer.
Not so with our Mercury cable.
…mercurial, fleet-footed by nature.
The Mercury cable carries the audio signal and power in two separate cables. It employs heavy OFHC continuous copper silver matrix conductors for the best possible signal transfer.
Each iFi cable follows closely the tech specs of usb.org. The cable construction is a custom minimum inductance parallel type with dual-shielding. This protects the cable from RFI and EMI noise and provides the cleanest transfer medium possible. This means sound quality is not compromised as with many ‘off the shelf’ versions where inadequate shielding is commonplace. Crucially, the whole design hardly has a 5% tolerance to the 90ohm impedance rule.
The signal runs through the cable and the final connector. This connector must also be exceptional.
Most USB cables use moulded plastic covered connections that do not shield the high frequencies present in the USB data link and noise radiates out. Very few manufacturers make their own connectors and rely mass-produced connectors which means durability is compromised.
Our FINAL USB connectors provide impeccable end-to-end RF shielding. They are machined entirely from solid, aircraft-grade aluminium.

iPurifier (original version)
The iFi iPurifier.
Restoring the purity of USB audio.
The iFi iPurifier purifies and rebalances the USB signal perfectly.
Within the USB cable are data (audio), power and ground and all being in close proximity gives rise to Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) issues.
The signals become noisy, unbalanced with DC offset.
The Purifier’s specially designed circuit restores the ‘signal waveform’ to put the ‘analogue’ back for a true, life-like presentation.
- PurePurification Technology removes unwanted EMI from USB audio data+power
- iPurifier removes DC offset and rebalances the USB signal for perfect transmission
- Compliant with USB Audio Class 2.0 – for 384kHz and beyond (supports all PCM/DXD/DSD formats)
- Compatible with High-Speed USB 2.0 (384kHz and higher supported)
- Impedance: 90 ohms
- Connectors: iFI FINAL’ USB connectors
- Dimensions: 62(l) x 19(w) x 18(h) mm
- Weight: 33g (0.1 lbs)
- Warranty period: 12 months

iSilencer3.0
Does your USB audio system suffer from annoying background noise?
The iSilencer3.0 is for anyone who wants a simple way to reduce distortion and enjoy clearer, noise-free tunes.
Background noise can often haunt your enjoyment of your music or movies.
At iFi, we ain’t afraid of no ghosts and came up with the iSilencer3.0 to rid your sound of these audio gremlins.
Simply plug the iSilencer3.0 directly into the USB port of your computer. Easy. You’ll notice you get the deeper detail in your music. Music will seem clearer, more transparent and bass will be improved.
The spooks are gone.
This device can be used not only at the active USB ports but also at unused USB ports too. It will reduce EMI.
Using multiple iSilencers (and therefore the inbuilt ANC circuit) will double the noise reduction each time the number of units is doubled.
Just don’t cross the streams.
The iSilencer3.0 uses iFi’s improved Active Noise Cancellation+® tech to decrease noise by 100x the common noise filter. This is equivalent to 40dB. We use our REBalance® tech to get rid of clicks and distortion.
This little gadget is a hassle free way to banish those frustrating and unnecessary ‘sound spooks’ that plague your music.
As the song says, Enjoy the Silence. Long live Depeche Mode.

iDefender3.0
Tired of doing battle with buzz, hum and hiss?
Our iDefender3.0 is for those struggling with noisy audio due to unwanted ground loops in their audio chain.
Annoyed by hum and buzz invading your listening?
Using multiple plugs means separate earth points. These multiple earth or ground points cause earth/ground loops and create an unwanted chain of noise, buzz and distortion.
The iDefender3.0 plugs into your computer USB port and auto-detects if there is more than one earth and will ‘intelligently’ disconnect the computer earth for cleaner sound.
If your DAC is USB powered, the iDefender3.0 requires an external 5 volts to break the earth.
It works pretty well with our 5-volt iPower (just saying!). Injecting clean power will ensure you get the maximum out of your USB audio.
