Technical Documentation

  • Description
  • Specifications
  • Circuit Topology
  • The buffer is a single-channel (mono) buffer, with the following features:

    • Differential (balanced, XLR) input, which can easily be configured for single-ended (unbalanced, RCA) operation.
    • Fully differential output even when used with a single-ended source. 
    • Common-mode feedback ensures zero common-mode output voltage to avoid power supply bus pumping.
    • Jumper-selectable gain: 11.6 dB, 13.0 dB, and 13.2 dB for a total amplifier gain of 26.0 dB when used with the Purifi Class D modules. 
    • Gain can be further customized by adding a resistor (1206 size SMD and leaded/PTH supported) or set to unity gain (0 dB).
    • Plug-and-play connection with Hypex SMPS1200 power supply.
    • Four ultra low-noise voltage regulators power the analog and digital circuits of the Buffer and the amplifier module. Optionally, you can add the Hypex HPR/HNR regulators.
    • Speaker output is provided on 6.3 × 0.81 mm quick-connect spades and a terminal block accepting up to AWG 10 (5.2 mm2) in size.

    In addition, the following options are provided for advanced users:

    • By adding a resistor and a 7-pin connector, the amplifier module can be operated in software mode. See the relevant amplifier module data sheet for details. 
    • The buffer can be disabled by removing two resistors. A 3-pin connector footprint provides direct access to the input of the amplifier module.

    The Universal Purifi Input Buffer circuit board is fully assembled, RoHS compliant, and is designed and manufactured in Canada.

  • The full specifications for the Universal Purifi Input Buffer are tabulated below.

    Sound Quality

    I designed the Universal Purifi Input Buffer to be sonically transparent and firmly believe I have achieved that goal. I generally prefer precise amplifiers as they render the source material naturally, without any colouration, and offer a spacious and realistic sound stage. This aligns well with the design philosophy of Purifi and Hypex as well.

Extremely comfortable, leather sole. Hard to find a style.
Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 13.5-14.5 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Navy Blue
Totally worth the price. This type of style is very hard to find, my husband had another pair a few years ago that he was never able to replace. These fit his wide feet and are very comfortable. The elastic at the ankle is not too tight. So glad I was able to find him a replacement. We bought the blue in a size 12. Love the fact that they are washable.

Very comfortable Slippers. Great buy!
Size: 12-13 Women/10.5-11.5 Men, Color: Charcoal
I bought these to replace a pair of slippers that I have had for years that are very similar to the slippers I bought, but I had worn a hole in the leather on mine, so I had to find something new and similar. These slippers are worth the money they are very comfortable, and I am sure they will last for years. They are a little tight around the ankle cuff but they are still new and I am sure they will wear in a little more when I start wearing them more.

Great slippers but disappointing quality.
Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash, Size: 7.5-8.5 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Ash
Extremely comfortable, attractive slippers but the stitching came loose on both leather trim areas almost immediately. I tried to sew/glue down the stitching (as seen in photo) but it kept unraveling. Disappointing as these slippers are great in every other way (though they do run a bit big...I wear a 9 but ended up with a 7.5-8.5 which fits with a bit of room to spare even with thick socks). I just hope they hold up after my latest attempt to stop the thread from pulling out any more as I do really love wearing them. Perhaps I just got a bum pair?

Tight at first, but they stretch after a short time...feel perfect after the first week!
Size: 9.5-10.5, Color: Charcoal Faux Fur
I love them! My first impression was "oooh, this is too tight". I wear a size 10 shoe and honestly, the 9.5-10.5 felt tight when I first tried it. Without socks it felt okay, with socks my toes were right at the top. But I loved the style so much I decided to give it a chance - I am SO glad I did!!! They do stretch and give, so don't expect it to be tight forever. I have had them a week or so, wearing each day (I WFH) and they feel really nice. I also live in the mountains, we just had our first winter storm, and these slippers are nice and toasty. Exactly what I needed. The memory foam is plush, though I have had other slippers with it and I know it will squash down over time. Right now, it is a nice feeling as I walk around the house. They are super cute looking, wearing leggings allows me to feel like I am stylish even while still wearing my sleep thermals. YAY!

favorite slipper ever
Size: 8-9, Color: Charcoal Faux Fur
I love these slippers. They look great with pants tucked in. Incredibly warm and comfortable. I wear them almost every day. Fit is true to size. They stay up but are not tight at all. On top of that I get compliments on them. Highly recommend.
