Neutron HiFi™ Isolator V1 is a compact, rugged, high-speed USB galvanic isolator designed to completely eliminate ground loop noise, humming, and digital power surges from your audio setup or sensitive measurement chain. Noise performance is verified and acclaimed by the Audio Science Review forum. Featuring an IP67 dust and waterproof rating, solid aluminium enclosure, and Gorilla Glass 3 side panels, it provides uncompromising signal purity and hardware protection in home, studio, live performance, and industrial environments.
Whether isolating high-end USB DACs from PC bus noise or safeguarding precision lab sensors, the Isolator V1 delivers battery-like, ultra-low noise VBUS power and ultra-precise data re-clocking. Discover full technical details on its dedicated product page.
Key Features & Performance Highlights
- Full Galvanic Isolation: Completely breaks ground loops, common-ground noise, and power rail disturbances between host PCs, laptops, or power sources and connected USB devices.
- Verified Low-Noise Performance: Noise suppression and signal integrity independently measured and praised on the Audio Science Review forum.
- Ultra-Low Noise Clean VBUS Power: Generates battery-like clean VBUS power output, allowing connected DACs, debuggers, and sensors to perform without electrical interference.
- High-Speed USB Data Re-Clocking: Maintains full USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) transmission with ultra-precise jitter reduction across wide operating temperature ranges.
- Robust IP67 Enclosure: Rugged, IP67-rated water- and dust-proof chassis built with precision-machined aluminium and Gorilla Glass 3 side panels.
- Wide Audio & Hardware Compatibility: Supports up to 8-channel 32-bit / 1.536 MHz PCM and 8-channel DSD1024 audio streams. Fully compatible with any standard USB 2.0 peripheral.
- Dual-Power Flexibility: Operates directly on USB host bus power (up to 2W / 0.4A) or accepts optional external power via USB Micro-B (up to 15W / 3A) for high-draw USB equipment.
Ideal Applications
- USB DACs & Audio Interfaces: Eliminate PC-induced buzz, GPU coil whine, and USB bus hash for pure audiophile playback.
- Guitar Processors & Synthesizers: Prevent ground loops when connecting multi-effects processors, digital amps, or synths directly to recording DAWs.
- Industrial & Measurement Equipment: Protect oscilloscopes, debuggers, sensitive sensors, and lab equipment against high-voltage surges and EMI.

Works as expected, even real isolation capacitance is around 20 pF as advertised. Surprisingly fast shipping.
Good isolator, everything works fine as expected
After a false start, the installation was successful and all interference noise via my PC>DAC was gone. This is therefore a well-functioning device for eliminating all kinds of background noise audible via an USB connection.
Does exactly what it should - removes nasty noise that was bleeding through usb ground.
I have a $60K system and it never sounded better until I added this little gem of a device. Highly recommended.
