A sensible upgrade
This power supply does perform as intended. You should keep in mind that how effective this will be depends largely on what gear you intend to use it with. If you have a system that is resolving enough, you will notice an improvement. It doesn’t add audio quality but instead cleans up the supplied power to allow device to perform optimally. I decided to try this with the Massdrop Arist R-1R DAC. I felt that this fairly affordable mutibit dac had potential but something was missing. In order to manufacture it within the price pint, some sacrifices had to be made. Usually one of the most expensive parts of high end gear is in the power supply. Arist compromised in this area by using a switching power supply. Granted, this results in a introductory price point for this dac but I am not aware of any high end multibit dac that takes this approach. This iFi power supply is a definite upgrade to the supplied switching power supply provided with the Arist. Using the Beyerdynamic DT1990 I can certainly hear a difference. Warmer midrange, more space and depth. It actually comes closer to the Schiit Bifrost. It does have a slightly more diffuse sound field than the Bifrost. I have been fooled a couple of times where I removed my headphones to make sure the loudspeakers were not on. The alternative would be to upgrade this dac by spending over $800 at a minimum. That makes this a good buy. I wish iFi made one for 24v demands. I’d replace the power supply to my Cavali Tube Hybrid and LCX+SDAC. When I switch back and fourth between the Arist and SDAC, the SDAC while very clean has a definite wall of sound compared to the large, spacious sounding ARIST. The iFi power supply really makes this immediately obvious where before you could tell it was there but not as apparent. A recommend buy for this setup.

Genuine audio upgrade.
Pretty much everybody who purchases an iFi supply will be using it in the context of an Audio-video system.I recently added a $20 DLink switch to put before the Bluesound Node streamer, and was more than a little surprised how beneficial it was, even with it’s ultra cheapo wall wart supply.I happened to have an older model iFi 5V supply that I got about 4 years ago for around $50, so I tried that one out on the switch, and sure enough the sound quality improved by at least as much again.This only whetted my appetite for what a much better supply could achieve. So I got this PowerX supply to see if any incremental gains were to be had. I plugged it in an hour ago and was rewarded with a sound quality I did not think was possible…voices floated in a 3 dimensional space with great artication and clarity. The low bass became much faster and more in tune, as well as usefully deeper.And all this from powering a network switch that does not carry any analog audio.It makes me wonder what the $300 Elite would do for this humble switch! Imay just pull the trigger and find out for myself!But for the price, the PowerX is the real deal!

iFi iPower X 5v improves an iFi spdif iPurifier2
Substituting an iPower x 5v for the iPower2 that came with the spdif iPurifier2 improved the sound quality another step or two in my system.Using an iMac 2019 running Amarra Luxe as a source, the usb signal via pangea xl usb cable runs through an iFi usb iPurifier3 into an audiophellio2 to a 25â coax run into the spdif iPurifier2 into a Metrum Octave dac.Each iFi device improved the sound quality.Removing jitter in the signal path.In a system that is revealing, and if you notice differences from changes this could be useful.Prior to adding the purifiers I thought I had a clear idea of my dacs sound signature. I thought I wanted a better dac, but the iFi products and Pangea xl usb cable delivered a much more refined signal and gave my dac a much better frequency response, clarity, detail, ease, depth, allowing it to shine like it can.With the iPower X I noticed more focus in the sound images, a bit more nuance, clarity, distinctness. Sound rings truer. When I play music on my system, my wife usually requests it go away when she comes in from work. Today she let it play on, and enjoyed an artist she likes!iFi could offer up the spdif iPurifier 2 paired with the iPower X as a âplusâ option.?!For me the iPower X addition was worth it!

If you are considering this for the iFi Zen Stream, you might want to try something else
I was using a 12 volt power supply made by Pyramid that supplied 13.8 volts probably for about 10 years. I was using it to power the Apogee Mini DAC back in its day. I am no longer using that DAC. I had no idea how good the Pyramid was. I had nothing else to compare to. The cost was reasonable and it is linear. I had no instruments to measure how low the noise was. It still can be had for $45 on Amazon. Then when I got the Zen stream, I repurpose the power supply for the Zen Stream. I keep hearing how good the iFi switching power supplies are. They are more efficient and I have one less switch to power on and off. I did not want to spend $300 for the Elite. All the 15 volt Power X had to do was to beat the Pyramid. Well, it did not. The sound with the Power X had less body as if the sounds were floating. There was also a slight bit of glare. The Pyramid with the Zen Stream produced sounds that is smoother and better rooted. You will have to make a cable and a plug for the Pyramid. Thus if you are looking for a better power supply for the Zen Stream, you should either look possibly at the Elite, another linear power supply, or try your luck with a Pyramid universal compact bench power supply.

Reçu en bon état et rapidement, meilleur filtration du courant en augmentant beaucoup la qualité du son et l’image stéréophonique.Je recommande.

Lo compré esperando mejorar la calidad de sonido en general de mi Zen DAC V1 que está conectado a mi laptop, también esperaba que eliminara el clipping/popping del dac causado por la mala implementación de su firmware (gracias iFi por causarme este dolor de cabeza constante).Los resultados: no he notado mejora de sonido alguna en las frecuencias, tampoco eliminó el clipping del DAC (de nuevo gracias iFi) sin embargo disminuyo notablemente el ruido que provocaba la perilla de volumen al momento de girarla (como de estática) sin solucionarlo al 100, dirÃa que soluciono este problema un 85-90% lo cual agradezco porque es un dolor menos de cabeza, finalmente como opinión creo firmemente que este aditamento te mantiene cubierto ante eventualidades como picos de corrientes galvánicas o ruido que pudiera llegar a entorpecer tu experiencia de audio, el producto se siente de calidad muy premium y vienen bastantes aditamentos de conexión, le doy 4 estrellas.

I was skeptical that a smps would make a meaningful improvement but was pleasantly surprised with the improvements to an inexpensive Wiim Pro streamer. Improvements to the streamer include refinement, transparency, bass extension and more palpable imaging.

Paired with RME ADI-2 FS. Texture, image and coherence are better than the bundle power adapter. But not a huge difference. Buyer needed to evaluate the cost effectiveness.

While it may be hard to analyze the effectiveness of this product without an analyzer to gauge noise,i can say that using it with my Zen Stream, has in my opinion greatly contributed to its marvelous sound.With the ipower inserted into the chain, the background is blacker, which allows me to hear far more details in the music.I cannot perceive any noise, including hum in the chain, with the iFi ipower X inserted. I believe this product, does what it advertises.
