No mean feat

Never fear, the iGalvanic3.0 is here. Galvanic isolation on USB3.0.

It is for any computer system. Plug into any USB port via your DAC. Put simply, it ‘creates’ a new, interference free signal.

No more noise, no more jitter. (And not an easy thing to do on USB3.0!)

One-stop USB solution

The iGalvanic3.0 is the one-stop USB audio enhancement solution for every computer audio lover.

It uses audio-grade galvanic isolation, REclock/REgenerate/REBalance2 and a clean USB power supply.

Ground breaking

Our iGalvanic3.0 breaks ground loops, avoids noise-coupling in applications that require hi-speed USB transfers and dramatically improves sonic performance.

Perfect for audiophiles seeking maximum sound quality from their USB digital audio system.

Galvanic Isolation

Galvanic isolation is a design technique that separates electrical circuits to eliminate stray currents that contain noise. Signals can pass between galvanically isolated circuits, but stray currents, such as differences in ground potential or currents induced by AC power, do not pass. This means little or no noise interference to the audio signal from stray currents.

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.

A highly advanced isolation technology, without any added conversion, processing, timing uncertainties or delays. It is native, and Bit-Perfect with minimal latency.

All computer audio systems are different. This product is dedicated for computer audio use and incorporates Groundlink.

A flick of the switch optimises isolation in systems where there is no, one or multiple grounds (earths) which cause hum and/or buzz.

Built-in super noise converter.

A super low noise audiophile grade USB power with Panasonic OsCons.

This is the world’s 1st audiophile-grade galvanic isolation on USB2.0 and USB3.0 on an audiophile grade device.

Electrical circuits are separated to eliminate stray elements – a signal can pass but nothing else.

Blown away

I use an Apple Mac laptop and I avidly listen to music through my DAC into this. But when I visited a friend I noticed that their music seemed much clearer and smoother than mine. When I got home, I realised mine had a low grade hum to it – something I never really noticed before but now seemed glaringly obvious and really annoying!!! It also seemed less smooth I guess. So my friend suggested iFi to me, we had a good chat and he talked me through what he thought were my issues and options.

It came down to the iGalvanic3.0 being the one to best suit me, and suit me it did. Once I had set everything up and hit play, my mind was blown. The clarity and sleekness of the sound is astonishing. I don’t know how I went so long listening to my music the old way, I’m definitely never turning back! I am looking forward to my friends coming over just so I can show off my set-up. Will be purchasing the Groundhog+ to further help my issue with the missing earth.

Clean, open sound. Definite improvement, no question

Like many others, I was fairly skeptical. However, I read one review from a computer scientist or electrical engineer (I can’t remember which) of various digital audio components and he said galvanic isolation is the biggest difference maker for digital audio. So I thought: what the heck? And gave this a try.

The difference exceeded my expectations. I have several of these signal cleaning products (audioqust jitterbug, the Schiit Wyrd, and now this) and this one has clearly made the biggest difference of the bunch by far.

Sound just feels cleaner. It’s hard to describe. But you get better clarity, better spacing, a slightly larger/more open soundstage.

Not sure the difference this will make with a standard set of cans, but I imagine nobody is looking at this to pair with their free earpods.

Definitely, definitely recommend this product!

(Current system for reference: Tidal or DSD library –> Schiit Wyrd –> iFi iGalvanic –> Audioquest Jitterbug –> Pro-ject Prebox S2 –> Schiit Lyr2 –> Audeze MX4)

YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS THING! It made a HUGE difference in my system and an absolute joy to listen too. Pull the trigger.

YES, YES, YES! Bought his to use with my iFi Micro iDSD Black Label DAC/AMP. You’re not aware of the grit, grain, and electronic hash coming from your laptop via USB cable. I mean this iGalvanic3 took my DAC/AMP to another level. It mattered not the source. I mean even music off YouTube sounds amazing. Streaming Tidal Master Class is incredible too. I was thinking to myself, “So this is what the high-end sounds like….wow.”

A galvanic isolator worth waiting for

It’s a 3 in one device: galvanic isolator with 3 selectable modes, and at least two more functions. Left on for 24 hours, it started to show what it can do on day 2. Later updated report will follow, but this is a real deal. Noise floor drops leading to more resolution: listening at lower level at night has improved a lot in clarity, better focus, increased depth, more extended highs and lows with more texture. I’m using this iGalvanic3.0 along with a Nano iUSB3.0, plus an iDefender powered by an iPower.

Make Audio Great Again With This “Galvanic Wall”

The iFi iGalvanic3.0 is a device that completely breaks the noise channel of your computer, it is like a water purifier filter that does not allow impurities to pass through. Not a single one!

Unlike the iUSB3.0, which regenerates the water flow and reduces some impurities, the iGalvanic3.0 completely cleans the current.

micro iGalvanic BL 5 Stars

YES, YES, YES! Bought his to use with my iFi Micro iDSD Black Label DAC/AMP. You’re not aware of the grit, grain, and electronic hash coming from your laptop via USB cable. I mean this iGalvanic3 took my DAC/AMP to another level. It mattered not the source. I mean even music off YouTube sounds amazing. Streaming Tidal Master Class is incredible too. I was thinking to myself, “So this is what the high-end sounds like….wow.” I thought this would replace the iFi iPurifier2 but come to find out, I was able to leave that in the chain with the iGalvanic3 and get even better sound than the iGalvanic3 by itself. However the iGalvanic3, by itself, does 75% of the difference. I’m just using el-Cheapo blue USB cables too–still incredible.

A stand-alone interface for isolating digital data from a computer’s USB port

It is certainly one of the most efficient to purify the USB link…it fulfils the role of three other toys, whose prices put end-to-end are more expensive than the iGalvanic alone!
