Anyone have a dealer/source for these in Western Canada? I'm looking for the 9v version.
 
I can only find it on Amazon at a ridiculous mark up.

New to the thread so sorry if the question in is obvious! But does the 5V come with a USB Micro adapter in the box?

To iFi Audio:

The question I have about the iPower is this: Since I have the Micro iDSD BL, DAC/AMP, and am using the iPurifier2 which takes the USB noise down to .5uV, would I noticeably benefit from using the iDefender 3.0 with the 5V iPower which takes the noise down to .1uV ?????? Is the Micro Black Label that sensitive to noise?

The answer is yes. The iDefender3.0 + iPower is even better as it supplies new power supply down to 1uV. The iPurifier2 'only' cleans up the existing power noise by 100x or 40dB.

HOWEVER, whether the rest of your system is commensurate is something we are unable to comment upon. As we are pragmatic, it is not our style to say 'yes you can hear the difference so buy it'.

If you use mid-price headphones, you may not hear the difference but if you use the iDSD BL in serious high-end system costing +US$10,000 then you should hear the benefits.

As we always say, try one from a dealer and report back. They usually offer a money back guarantee.

Yes, I'm using the Beyerdynamic T5p.2 with the Black Label so it's a very revealing headphone.

So if I use the Defender 3.0 with the 5V iPower, I should NOT turn the iDSD BL on before connecting the USB cable to my laptop? My understanding is that the iPower would then be even cleaner than the iDSD BL's on-board battery? Is this correct? Thank you for your response BTW!

1.) Yes.
2.) The PSU noise will be very low in either case, however the iDefender3.0 in the system will break earth loops.

My 12v iPower for my iTube 2 is making a buzzing noise that is fairly audible. When the wall wart is plugged in but the iTube is off, it barely makes any noise but as soon as I turn the iTube on, the buzzing noise jumps up dramatically, sort of a scratchy, grinding high pitched noise. I can't hear any effects in the headphones themselves but I can hear the wall wart buzzing when I'm sitting at my desk. Should I be concerned? Could it damage the iTube 2?

It does.

Well... I had my third iPower die today. A 12v model I was using on an Ethernet switch.

I've also lost an original iUSBPower (dead after 18 months) and a second iPurifier2, which died 2 months after I bought it.

Sorry, but I am finished with iFi-audio anything. You guys are cutting corners on quality control.

My iPower12V also died recently, was powering a router marked 1.7A only and got quite hot. My Ipower5v is only few months here so I hope it will last until year end.

 

[Promenadeplatz]

Does the new
NANO IONE
Feature the ipurifier spdif and USB techniques now in one sole item or is it still different?

I just got ipower 15v which comes with iCAN SE, and I have issue with it with hiss and hum sound and all my gear start to have static sound. And I tried 9V which I have for nano usb and that one works perfect on iCAN SE

I will try to contact them for replacement

Can I use 15v for Nano iUSB3.0 ?
