GTT Perspective · DeJitter It
WiFi, re-engineered for audio.
WiFi X starts from a measurement: how much RF energy a standard access point radiates into the audio system sitting next to it.
Why WiFi needed rethinking
An audio system that streams from a phone or tablet has a WiFi access point within a few feet of the equipment. Standard access points are designed for speed and coverage. The RF energy they radiate can be picked up by interconnects and travel along cables to the converter.
WiFi X is built on an Aruba IAP-325 — a commercial access point engineered for classified government environments, where radiating anything beyond the intended signal is a design failure. DeJitter It selects a specific firmware and chipset driver, applies a custom configuration, and pairs it with a noise-canceling linear power supply. The result is WiFi that works on the 5GHz band while radiating significantly less energy outside it.
We distribute DeJitter It because WiFi X is a measured approach to a real problem. In our Private Listening Room, reducing radiated WiFi energy has meant quieter backgrounds and a more relaxed presentation.
What WiFi X actually does
Measured, not assumed
DeJitter It tested major access points for radiated RF noise outside the WiFi bands. Standard units use switch-mode regulators, wide channels, and high transmit power — all of which generate measurable RF energy near audio equipment. The Aruba IAP-325 was selected for its side-channel emissions engineering; standard PoE and switch-mode supplies are noisy in the RFI band below 10 MHz, which is why WiFi X pairs it with a noise-canceling linear supply.
WiFi 5, not WiFi 6
WiFi 6 uses a modulation scheme that testing showed was absorbed more readily into nearby audio gear, and the chips carry more jitter. WiFi X uses WiFi 5 on a narrow 5GHz channel — less radiated energy, a cleaner connection, and full standards compliance on the 5GHz band.
Linear power, custom driver
A noise-canceling linear power supply replaces the standard switch-mode supply. A custom-modified WiFi chipset driver applies a configuration for audio use — lower transmit power, narrower channel, specific firmware. Together these reduce the radiated WiFi energy reaching audio interconnects and gear.
From the independent record
- Review“This one's a no-brainer if you ask me. Especially if you have the Switch X, the WiFi X is a must-have.” — Dean Waters, Positive FeedbackIndependent review with technical deep dive, July 2025.
- Video“My reference audio system enjoyed an immediate and significant elevation in overall clarity and resolution.” — Greg Weaver, The Audio AnalystIndependent video review covering both Switch X and WiFi X, July 2025.
- Award“I am giving one of my 2025 Brutus Awards to Chris Stephens and DeJitter It for the finest Ethernet system that I've ever heard.” — Dr. David Robinson, Positive FeedbackAwarded for the Switch X and WiFi X together as an Ethernet system.
Questions we hear in the listening room
My WiFi works fine — why would I change it?
Standard access points are designed for speed and coverage. They radiate RF energy at high power across wide channels, and that energy can be picked up by interconnects and cables near audio equipment. WiFi X is designed to radiate less while maintaining a clean, reliable connection.
Do I need Switch X as well?
WiFi X extends the same isolation principle to wireless devices. If your audio system relies on WiFi for control — phone, tablet, remote app — WiFi X addresses the noise that wireless introduces. A fully wired system may need only Switch X. We determine the right answer for the actual network during an audition.
Will it work with my existing network?
WiFi X is fully standards-compliant and works with devices on the 5GHz band. It comes complete and ready to plug in. It is designed to work alongside Switch X for a complete clean networking solution.
