Low-noise. High-Power.

The upgraded power supply components in the Pro iDSD Signature will be for naught if the included power supply delivers dirty, noisy power. Hence, iFi Audio pulled all the stops to include the iPower Elite in the package.

The iPower Elite boasts ultra-quiet power delivery for a clear, high-resolution sound. Rated at just <1uV, the iPower Elite delivers up to 1000x quieter noise floor compared to standard power supplies. You get all this in a sleek and durable aluminum unibody chassis that perfectly complements the Pro iDSD Signature's stunning looks.
