Denafrips Iris vs ifi spdif ipurifier 2


I have a Bluesound Node N130 > coax out> ifi spdif ipurifier 2 > Peachtree GaN 1

Would Node > usb out > Denifrips Iris >  Peachtree GaN 1 be an improvement?

Would using both of them in my path be beneficial? Is there a benefit of reclocking at 10Mhz vs 45.1548/49.152Mhz

It's difficult to answer your question, but I bought an iFi SPDIF iPurifier 2 when I had an old Revox CD player from 1990 used as a transport knowing that it would most likely really benefit from it. And indeed it did - and it did even more when I replaced the iFi wall wart with a 35$ 5V low noise linear PSU from AliExpress, fed through a filtered power strip.

Last June I bought a modern transport (Audiolab 6000CDT) and, according to some, the iFi iPurifier wouldn't be needed anymore, modern DAC + modern transport... yet I find everything sounds better with the iPurifier in place. YMMV, as always, but it costs nothing to try since you already own it, and I doubt it can be detrimental...
