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.

Big Investment for a Lifetime of Quality
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Several reviews mentioned a smell lingering with the sheepskin even after being unpacked a few days. I did notice the smell when I unpacked it, but I would expect a slight odor from such an item. It was not overpowering and is completely gone after one month of having it laid out on a chest in our bedroom. It is very functional, can be sat on, knelt on, etc, but is easily brushed off and looks great! The quality is very good…someone in my family is on it every night, and we have experienced no shedding whatsoever. Although the price is a big investment initially, I believe the quality is worthy. We plan to enjoy this beautiful sheepskin for a lifetime!

Love it, but terrible smell at first
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Really soft & my dog loves it. I used it as a throw over my couch for decor. The smell when I took it out of the package was probably one of the worst smells I’ve ever smelled. Like old broccoli or something. I left it outside to air out all day and that was gone.

Not premium quality! I've seen actual authentic ones before.
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Despite all the positive reviews, I believe this product is subpar. There are genuine sheep skin Hydes but this product is NOT it. There is no leather embossing showing authenticity, and many signs of strong chemical treatment. Smell is lingering and I've aired them for over two days. Not very comfortable since the fur is very thick and coarse, you would expect it to be softer for the price as well. Not premium quality. I ordered this for my children to sleep on at long evening Church services but now I will look to more niche sellers for a higher quality product.
