Audiophiles continually try different combinations of equipment in the quest to improve their sound systems. Unfortunately, no one type of connector exists that works with all types of components. A preamplifier might have RCA outputs, for example, while the amplifier has XLR inputs. How are they to be connected?
Adapters
Purist Audio Design offers the solution: an array of adapters to connect any two pieces of equipment in a system. XLR can be linked to RCA, RCA to XLR, RCA to BNC, XLR to Fischer, and RCA to LEMO. Perhaps even a Y-connector is required. Quite simply, Purist Audio Design can make whatever the music lover needs. Purist Audio Design adapters use only the highest-quality metals: copper, silver, gold, even special alloys. They are fabricated in a single rigid construction, maintaining the integrity of the connection and avoiding sound degradation. Purist Audio Design can provide precisely the adapters needed to reveal the full potential of the audiophile's unique combination of equipment.
Digital Isolation Adapter
Purist Audio design is proud to release a solution for impedance control between equipment with electrical isolation of the digital signal.
The adapter is designed to
Provide galvanic isolation from the transport to the DAC
Reduce jitter by impedance control
Reduce EMI/RF noise
Usage
The adapter can either be plugged into the SPDIF (RCA) output of a CD Transport, or the SPDIF (RCA) Input of a D/A. Connect the SPDIF (RCA) Digital cable into the adapter and equipment. Through our testing and usage, we have found the using the adapter on the D/A's SPDIF (RCA) input yields the most correction.
Construction
Purist Audio Design adapters use only the highest-quality metals: copper, silver, gold, even special alloys. They are fabricated in a single rigid construction, maintaining the integrity of the connection and avoiding sound degradation.

What They're SAying
I thought I would try the new Purist Audio Digital Isolation Adapter quickly with my headphone set up first...
It was late at night and I was thinking why not. What will it do? What can it do...?
...should I remember the music...what to expect? I mean it already is sounding very good...
So,
...the first music (Dianna Krall ...One Quiet Night...song: Temptation)
...shocking...I did not expect an instant 10.
The breath...the light percussion...
It slows down the song to a pace that is studio live...and the detail is breath...and the notes slowly decay with the right harmonics...yet slow and relaxed...no effort.
Need to say...Im keeping this...it is quiet..but not overly airy..it is real...in time and space.
Thank you Aaron for the recommendation and Brian....you gotta try this!
Please tell Jim...this device not only isolates ...it correctly places you in the time zone...voices are seamless with the percussion and bass...and the timing of the vocals breath allows you to feel the time....all members of the band are one experience in time...there is no listen here or there.
All is one. And one is all.
So happy...please share this...it allows a palpable experience...when a song ends you are allowed to feels the ending...piano pedal release....and then stop.
I will have to try on my main system..or get another one.
Your products never disappoint!

Daniel
