Hello,
 
I have 2 iPowers, one for my iUSB (9v) and one for my Ami Musik DS5 dac (5v).
...
 
For my DAC, the iPower was better than my Sbooster linear PS, which cost me almost 3 times the price of the iPower ! The sound is even clearer, it's scary haha, I highly recommend it if you want to upgrade your DAC.

I ordered a 5v model for my NAD DAC/amp... but, Music Direct still hasn't even shipped it. It's like iFi Audio doesn't even want to sell product in the US.
 
Sorry, that was snarky; but, really, it's 2015.

  they should not make any noise from what i read from the thread. please stop using them until you get their replies.Please let us know the update. Thanks

Ifi replied to me :
 
"Thanks for your enquiry.

With regards to the iPowers, yes it is normal.

All transformers in general will make some noise and vary from unit to unit, it is a characteristic feature.

If you would like we can cherry pick an iPower for you to swap out?

Thanks."


In the meantime, it seems that the one iPower that I have which made a more pronounced high pitched noised does not anymore, when changed it position (in a certain position the noise becomes "normal" again, ie you can hear the noise only when you have your hear near it).
So I chose to keep it.

How pronounce is the sound from your unit? with regard to distance. 1 meter?

Dear iFi Audio,
 
are you by any chance considering a 24v version of the iPower any time soon ?

Dear Doug,
 
The 5v and 12v and 15v are about to ship (we shall announce in next few days) as we got caught out by the 9v iPower.
 
The 24v what is the amperage needed?

Cheers

The specs on the 24v unit I am using (Garage1217 Sunrise III) are 0.55A cont and 0.8A peak. 
 
Thanks for asking !

Hi,
 
Then we have a solution for you. Audio gods willing, this should be available in January. We heard from our retailers that the iPower generated 'a few' requests and we thought instead of one iPOWER for each voltage, one should work smarter than that.
 
Why not make one that works with one's existing power supply but with the DC iPurifier add-on turns it into an iPOWER and works up to 24v/3.5amps?
 

With the Active Noise Cancellation technology trickling-down from the iUSB3.0, we are starting to roll this out technology across the board. The below chart depicts its noise reduction performance. In the key audible range, it cuts noise by 316x (by 50 dB) to 100,000x (100 dB):

More info closer to the time of the launch.
 
Cheers.

Glad I asked ... that definitely sounds worth waiting for !
 
You guys (?blokes) are brilliant.
