Ifi Audio's LAN iSilencer is a device that aims to improve sound quality for users streaming music via LAN (Local Area Network). The LAN interface has an inherent 'noise' that can interfere with audio signals. The LAN iSilencer is designed to remove this electrical noise and release the acoustic potential of the connected equipment.
Here are some of the main features and benefits of the LAN iSilencer:
1. galvanic isolation technology: This technology separates electrical circuits to eliminate stray currents. This reduces system interference and improves signal transmission.
2. Gigabit Ethernet support: LAN iSilencer supports Gigabit Ethernet. This means it can handle high-resolution audio data without losing the quality of the audio.
3. reduced jitter: Jitter is a form of digital distortion that leads to timing errors and can result in cold, harsh sound. The LAN iSilencer reduces overall system jitter, which can improve sound quality.
4. Rebalancing the signal: The LAN iSilencer rebalances the signal via iFi's REbalance technology. This ensures that the digital signal received by the streamer is identical to the original source.
5. Easy to connect: The LAN iSilencer can be connected to a router, network switch or Ethernet wall socket. No power source is needed, making it easy to install and use.
6. Another key design feature mentioned is the presence of a 'zero jitter memory buffer' and 'galvanically isolated inputs.'
It is important to note that the effect of the LAN iSilencer on sound quality varies. The effect is certainly dependent on how "dirty" the LAN signal is from the start, i.e. how much use the LAN iSilencer can make. And probably also how sensitive a hifi equipment is.
