Description

Digital-to-Digital Converter (DDC) | USB Signal Purification | Audiophile-Grade Reclocking

The Denafrips Iris 12th Edition is a high-performance digital-to-digital converter (DDC) designed to dramatically improve the quality of digital audio signals—particularly over USB. Acting as a precision interface between your digital source (e.g., streamer or PC) and your DAC, the Iris 12th isolates, reclocks, and regenerates the signal using Denafrips’ proprietary FIFO buffering and FPGA-based processing, delivering cleaner, more stable, and lower-jitter digital output.

At its core, the Iris 12th features a fully galvanically isolated USB input, dual high-precision Femtosecond Crystal Oscillators, and Denafrips’ custom FPGA to handle signal reclocking and conversion with exceptional accuracy. It supports high-resolution formats including PCM up to 768kHz and DSD1024 (via USB), and outputs via I²S (HDMI/LVDS), AES/EBU, Coaxial, and Optical, making it a versatile addition to any digital audio setup.

Key Features:

  • USB → I²S / AES / Coax / Optical conversion
  • FPGA with FIFO buffer – eliminates jitter, reclocks signal precisely
  • Dual femtosecond crystal oscillators – ultra-low phase noise
  • Galvanically isolated USB input – for electrical noise separation
  • Supports PCM768kHz / DSD1024 (USB) – ideal for high-res playback
  • CNC-machined aluminum chassis – anti-resonant and EMI-shielded
  • 12th Edition upgrades – improved clocks, power regulation, and layout

The Iris 12th brings a substantial uplift in sound quality when inserted between a digital transport and DAC, revealing more depth, better imaging, and greater tonal purity. Whether used to clean up USB noise or optimize digital signal pathways, the Iris 12th is a critical component for those seeking absolute digital fidelity in their hi-fi chain.
