Unlike other ground-lift solutions, the iDefender Max eliminates ground loops without compromising equipment safety. It intelligently and automatically reestablishes the earth connection when a current-related fault is detected, ensuring excess current is directed to the earth rather than to the connected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"subhead margin\"\u003ePerfect Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iDefender Max supports input power up to 100W (20V\/5A), making it compatible with a wide range of devices and extending its utility beyond mere USB DAC applications.
