SilentPower iDefender+ USB C - A
SilentPower iDefender+ USB C - A
The SilentPower iDefender+ adapter eliminates ground loops and the associated hum, noise and distortion in the USB audio chain. You connect the device between the source device and the USB DAC. By breaking the ground on the computer side, it helps to eliminate unwanted noise right at its source, while the data transfer remains completely unaffected. The device detects the presence of multiple ground points that cause buzzing and humming in the speakers. Connection is via a USB-C connector on the computer side and a USB-A connector on the peripheral side.
Key features of the SilentPower iDefender+ USB-C to A adapter
- Eliminates ground loops and associated hum in the audio chain
- Disconnects the computer's ground without interrupting data transfer
- Side USB-C input for connecting an external 5V power source
- Internal circuits contain low-ESR tantalum capacitors
- Gold-plated connectors to protect against corrosion
- Supports USB 3.0 standard with backward compatibility for USB 2.0
Ground loop elimination
When connecting a computer to an audio device, unwanted noise often occurs due to different ground points. The adapter intelligently detects the presence of a ground loop and breaks the ground on the computer side. This effectively eliminates audible hum and buzzing without disrupting data transfer. The result is a cleaner sound background.
External power option
The device offers the option to disconnect the power from the computer's USB port. There is a separate USB-C input on the side, to which you can connect an external 5V source. This step provides clean current for sensitive converters and prevents the spread of high-frequency interference from the computer. This significantly improves the audio performance of the connected DAC.
Filtration
The internal circuitry has been upgraded to include low-ESR tantalum capacitors. These components serve to filter both the input and output, and the total filtering capacitance has been increased tenfold. The system suppresses minor current and voltage fluctuations, which contributes to more stable operation of the entire audio chain.
USB 3.0 standard support
The device fully supports the USB 3.0 standard, which defines a more detailed wire structure for more reliable signal transmission. The device maintains backward compatibility with the older USB 2.0 standard. The fast transfer helps maintain a stable flow of high-resolution data to your amplifier or converter. There is no delay or packet loss.
Construction and gold-plated connectors
Its compact and lightweight body makes it easy to connect anywhere in your audio system. The connectors have a gold-plated surface, which protects the contacts from corrosion and wear. This helps achieve optimal electrical contact and long-term transmission reliability.
Audio enhancement
By eliminating parasitic sounds and background noise, the overall sound resolution is improved. The soundstage gains greater depth, warmth and dynamic contrast. The listener can perceive subtle details in recordings that were previously lost in the electrical noise. In addition, the device stabilises the USB signal itself, contributing to more accurate sound reproduction in the connected converter or amplifier. The sound becomes more natural and calmer.
