Pros & Cons
Pros
More realistic tone/timbre, resolving micro details, imaging is more palpable. Less irritating harshness in the sounds in general.
The lavry da10 is a professional quality lavry dac. Uses 2xess9038 chips each in mono, and has a bunch of different digital filters from which to select. I have this product between my oppo player and my new fancy, expensive dac.
This unassuming little unit is (no hyperbole) simply amazing. The old adage of garbage in, garbage out is what this ifi device is addressing.
Gary's system consists of a yamaha sacd player that he uses as a transport into an upgraded audio-gd r2r dac. Yamaha aventage receiver. Graaf modena stereoblock for the midrange driver.
Cons
Many of these amazon reviews seem canned. This is like duct taping a turbocharger onto the roof of your car. I need to disconnect and reconnect the power source in order for it to go away.

This little device sounded good right out of the box
Competitiveness
The purifier definitely makes a positive difference when placed at the end of a spdif cable before a dac
I have been using the ifi spdif with a schiit bifrost multibit which is a very good dac and a stax head phone and amplifier
This device goes between a spdif rca digital output from a cddvd player and a standalone dac or receivers digital input
Allot actually because im using a chromecast audio device to stream tidal digitally and wirelessly from my tablet ive succumbed... Read More

I then tried the spdif ipurifier to see if it would improve the sound

Had considered a couple other costlier alternatives but not thrilled with upsampling and figured i could use the ifi in my av system if it didnt work out in the main system

Wasn’t expecting such a difference if any at all had written ifi in advance to ask if the purifier would be worth it in my set up
