Part 1: iFi Audio iGalvanic3.0 - The Holy Grail of Audio In “The Last Crusade” in a cavern full of cups, Indiana Jones had to choose the Holy Chalice used in the last supper. In USB audio, similar propositions are abound as selecting the best device to improve USB computer audio presents a mind-boggling array of choices. It is widely regarded that one of the most effective USB solutions is galvanic isolation. However, its scarcity reflects the technological hurdles that are not without difficulty. Having spent the best part of two years researching, (hence why we did not bring it out earlier!), we wholeheartedly agree. The iGalvanic3.0 has been one of our more ‘technically challenging’ projects. But the team at iFi Audio are NOW over the moon to announce the iGalvanic3.0. It is one of a kind - able to deliver galvanic isolation on USB3.0 Super Speed. In a sea of USB audio improvement devices, the iGalvanic3.0 really is the ‘holy grail.’ We could have stopped work there and just brought the product to market. Yet, this is not in the AMR/iFi DNA. From this starting point, we invested more time to develop additional features that truly make this product the ultimate solution for USB computer audio. We believe the iGalvanic3.0 will elevate the quality of the audio playback by an order of extreme magnitude. What is the iGalvanic3.0? The iGalavnic3.0 is the one-stop USB audio enhancement solution for every computer audiophile. It offers the USB Trinity of: Audiophile-grade galvanic isolation REclock2/REgenerate2/REbalance2 Clean USB power supply*. *Measured noise is 0.5uV(0.0000005V) @ 500mA load. Outclasses non-iFi USB devices. Bettered only by the micro iUSB3.0. It is a ground-up, dedicated, stand-alone solution that elevates just about every computer audio system. Who benefits from the iGalvanic3.0? Everyone who uses USB for computer audio. More specifically, the iGalvanic3.0 is the ideal solution to: Break ground loops Avoid noise-coupling in applications that require hi-speed USB transfers. Thus, the iGalvanic3.0 is the perfect solution for computer audiophiles through to recording studios seeking maximum sound quality from their USB digital audio system. Stay tuned, next section coming soon! Part #2 High-Tech & High Spec.

Hi, I've been away a while but I have a practical question. I need to stream toslink or possibly galvanically isolated coaxial from my desktop W7 computer, and $200 is my upper limit. Options are a)internal soundcard, b)install a firewire port and use a firewire interface with toslink out, c)usb interface (preferably with asynchronous transfer), d)wireless streamer (which could then have coax out), e)network streamer (would need toslink), f)any old usb interface, followed by a coax to toslink converter. Requirements are a)no electrical connection to the sound system, b)24/96, c)under $200 Desires are a)sound quality, b)not having to mess with drivers, c)transferability (i.e. a soundcard is at a disadvantage). What seems to come up is ESI Juli@ internal soundcard, Musical Fidelity V-Link, and M2Tech HiFace. I'm interested in a) operational notes and caveats about any of the above b) relevant sonic comparisons c) other options which meet my criteria Thank you.

This one I've ordered couple months ago in Europe during my business trip and I don't need it anymore (cleaning the closet). Looks as good as new, comes with the papers and it's original package. $275 includes shipping from Moscow, Russia to Europe and USA. PayPal, SWIFT Bank transfer available.

I have recently changed my system topology and no longer need my ISO REGEN and UltraCap LPS-1. The ISO REGEN is in like new condition (9/10). The LPS-1 has never been used (10/10). These units include all the original packaging and accessories: ISO REGEN / Standard for normal horizontal REGEN position USPCB A>B adapter for connecting ISO REGEN to DAC USB cable UltraCap LPS-1 with 7.5V/2.9A worldwide-voltage compatible “energizing” supply and 45cm AC cable 70cm, 16awg, DC cable with 5.5mm x 2.1mm plugs at both ends for connecting LPS-1 to ISO REGEN MSRP: $670 Asking Price: $500 Terms: Payment via PayPal Price includes USPS Priority shipping within continental US only and PayPal fees International buyers must pay actual shipping cost

I have recently changed my system topology and no longer need my ISO REGEN. It is in like new condition (9/10). This unit includes the original packaging and the following accessories: • ISO REGEN / Standard for normal horizontal REGEN position • USPCB A>B adapter for connecting ISO REGEN to DAC • USB cable The ISO REGEN pairs very well with streamers like the microRendu and sMS-200.
