So...iFi,

Will the iDSD Pro come with the new iPower?

Say it's so!

 
iDSD Pro will be running on 15V/2A, which is higher than what the iPower can supply (max 12V/1.1A).
 
I am more interested to know if it will be beneficial to iCAN or iTube though.
 
p/s: Actually I think iDSD Pro could be 12V compatible.

12v or 15v it would seem that the same principle would apply, be it 5v, 9v or 20v. The iPower does 3 voltages. What's a few steps up to 15v?

iFi has been paying attention to power supply since the beginning so I don't really see any reason to worry about the Pro's line power supply for now, regardless if it is an iPower or not.

Hi,
 
Can shed more light.
 
The Pro series will have its own, high-powered version of the iPower, performance is about the league as the iPower, just more current!
 
Yes, the whole Pro-line will be 12V compatible.
 
And finally, yes the new iPower upgrades the performance of the iTube, iCan, iPhono et al.
 
Actually ANY 5v/9v/12v powered device can benefit from the iPower - so long as the current supplied by the iPower is sufficient, then it is fine.
 
Output: 5V/2.1A; 9V/1.5A; 12V/1.1A
 
 
 
 
Background: we shed some mesurements a few pages back (page 15)

Attached here is a screen shot from our AP2 showing the noise of the new iFi mini power supply delivering 15V at 1.25A (18.75W output power).
 
This graph covers frequencies from 10Hz to 108kHz and voltages from 10 nanoVolt (0.00000001V) to 10 Volt.

This is the 15V Pro one, but the others are similar.

is there a launch date for this yet?

I'm wondering whether it will be included as a standard psu in the newest versions of the iCan and iTube or it will be sold separately only.

Hi,
 
Yes - is already in all iFi-powered devices (with a higher price rise).
 
And it will also be sold separately so iFi and non-iFi people can use the iPower.
 
Once existing customers receive their iPower, then it will be sold separately.
 
The 9v is already shipping. The 5v and 12v in ~4-6 weeks.
 
Cheers.

Hi,
 
Mid-May at the Munich High-End show is the final prototype/production version.
 
It is expected to ship in the next few weeks after Munich.
 
Thanks.

Great news!!........and the price will be~............?????

Hi,
 
The whole iFi line is expected to be around the US$1500 ex-tax/Euro1,750 with tax.
 
Different models, different prices but around this level.
 
This is just provisional.
 
Cheers.

A while back you were playing around a bit with the originally disclosed specifications.  Have you now settled on a set of specs for the Munich release?  Would you be willing to share those?  You also speculated that you might repeat something like the Octa-Adopter program for the iDSD Micro, any further update on that?  
 
By the way, a belated "Thank You" as I was one of the winners in your guess the number of components contest!

Hey iFi...my home was only on the market for 6 days, and then I got a contract, so basically my home has sold. I'm ready for my iDSD Pro now.

 
Just kidding.  It's nice to know that it's on track for the end of May as you guys expected. I'm sure closer to that time you guys will post all sorts of final specs?

Hi,

You do not hang about.

Pressure is on us to keep up.....we'll try to get you all something to tide you over the bank holiday long weekend.

Hi iFi Audio,
 
While you guys are at it ... can share any plans or special deals for the Pro line launch for iClub members?
 
Cheers
James
