When plugged into your source device's USB port, the iDefender+ is designed to detect whether there's a ground loop problem and break it by disconnecting the computer's ground, virtually eliminating audible ground-loop hum and lowering the system noise floor to enhance resolution and dynamic audio contrast.
If you're using the iDefender+ with a DAC that uses USB power rather than AC power or a built-in battery, the iDefender+ can use a separate power source via its USB Type-C power port, blocking power from the computer.
Low-ESR tantalum capacitors help enhance input and output filtering.
