Anyone know of a place to buy the ipower? I would get it from music direct but they want $16-17 to ship a tiny box priority mail which is outrageous.

They only ship within US and shipping is free for orders over $49. Maybe add this item for a whopping 40 cents and bingo, LOL

The issue is they don't ship via USPS for free. I can use the "standard post" option but if it is first class mail then it will take 2 months to get here.
FedEx doesn't deliver to FPO addresses like stateside address. Only USPS does.

E-mail / call these folks on the list and find out if they're shipping iPower to your FPO address via USPS or otherwise

just pm the ifi and ask them to get you hooked up with a shop near you. Or if you go to the sales section and find a retailer near you - good luck buddy

Hi,
Just an update - as we notice similar questions being received.
The iPOWER comes in four different voltages. To determine if it is suitable for your product - router, headphone amp, DAC, mixer etc...
1) Check the correct voltage
2) Ensure the iPOWER amps rating is the same or higher than what your product requires.
3) Check the DC barrel connector fitting or the 'pigtails' that are in the box.
Any questions, just open a support team with our team and they will gladly answer your questions.

For the 5V/2.5A flavor, is there a way to get some micro USB barrels for Chromecast Audio by any chance?

You folks are revving these fast... my 5V/2.1A now looks to be 2.5A and my 9V1.5A is now 2.0A.

I asked IFI about the discrepancies on the amperage of the various voltages on the power supplies. The response I received was that the higher amperages apply to all power supplies regardless of what is says on the unit/box. The reason being that they wanted to be conservative until they were tested for certification. Now that the have certification the new specifications (i.e. higher) are the true values for amperage.

Hi,
Yes there is. This are separate items to be ordered from your retailer as we counted and for DC-type connections, there are an insane number of variations. We just could not cover all bases.
Cheers.

Would an iPower be considered an upgrade to the PSU included with the iTube?

Hi
The iPOWER is an upgrade on the original i-Fi ultra-low noise power unit. It has the Active Noise Cancellation technology which is the bedrock of all i-Fi power-based products.
In terms of measurements, it is some 10x quieter but bear in mind, the original was already exceptionally quiet.
Try it for yourself first - that would be our advice.
Thanks.

The 9v would be the one to get for the iTube then? The iTube is 7v (according to the manual), and there's no iPower matching that...
I'm not sure where to purchase the other versions, if not Amazon.
