What are the main advantages of this upcoming power supply over that one which is included with M17? Does power cable will be included with new one?

I will know after I receive it for review!
In theory, more clean power and better current supply=better sound

I would love, but always shudders... I know people reports that works fine but for me always starts to s-s-stop-and go

No. DSD128 with 8x works perfectly. DSD256 - hiccups, that’s true

I finally kept the iFi ipower elite 15V .. after making some comparison with the standard FIIO external power supply, though it's almost impossible to make a real A/B comparison, I had the feeling the sound was maybe with something like faster with better kicks like an external THX Amp (THX887) I use usually for such target...
In real life, the M17 in enhanced audio mode with the standard is already very convincing, I am not sure it's not a "placebo" affect that I felt with a 4A power supply, the M17 could draw juice faster than with a simple 3A power supply.
I used 2 power hungry headphones like HEDDphone One and DCA Stealth.

I used 3S3P and 4S2P 18650 battery packs with M17 and RME ADI-2 and didn't hear a difference to the original supply. Battery packs are ultimate clean power you can get. So, I will stick to what I have. But I have to say, FiiO is releasing a very affordable and powerful PS for anyone that needs it. That's a real good price and looks sturdy.

With a 12V output, that would be a good PSU for quite a few things, including iFi gear that takes a 12V input.

Is there some way to use an iPhone or iPad with the M17 via USB DAC mode? I'm trying to use Roon and/or Apple Music on the iPhone or iPad and send the audio through the M17. For the life of me, I cannot get this to work. I've tried using a USB-C to USB-C cable, and I've tried the Apple USB-C to USB-A adapter with a USB-A to USB-C cable. I've tried both USB ports on the M17. Nothing works. I'm guessing this isn't possible. Can anyone confirm? Thanks for any input.

Please share opinion when you get it tested, if it gives better sound, I am more then willing to purchase one.

I really wanted it, and I did not want to take the risk that they only make it in small numbers, and it doesn't make it to distributors... so I ordered from AliExpress today as soon as I saw it was available. Seems like a very reasonable price for what it is (or at least portends to be).

About the PL50, It is not a green power so it may hard to get certification or the cost is too high to get one. but we will see if we can make it happen so you guys can buy it from a local dealer. anyway, you can buy one from our official shop on Aliexpress . here is the link:
