Just got mine from B&H Photo. Quick listen. So far very impressed via Optical (PS4) or 15 feet away via Bluetooth (iPhone > Tidal). This little device is going to get a lot of use, especially if I figure out a 5V battery back option as I might not have a lot of free outlets in some locations.
I was using the Anker battery and I was reasonably happy except that was not working with ifi blue usb cable.

Now I am powering with an ipower through raspberry pi and the ifi blue usb cable which I find excellent.

I would also like to ask you do you have the extended version? Does it include an ipower within the box or a regular power supply?

What's the battery life with that Anker?
There is no iPower in the box. It is the extended one because it has the clear tabs on the side. Are these supposed to come with the iPower or is that a more expensive version with that option?
Can I ask how does it work with the USB power cable to iFi iPower? The iPower uses an inverter adapter and the iOne only has USB input/power. Special adapter?
Great. I am also wondering if i can power this with my lg oled b6 tv it has 1 3.0 and two 2.0 usb inputs. If not via my smartphone charging adapter connected to the wall outlett. That worked with a bluetoth speaker to charge and power it.
The TOSLINK adapter is included.

I will not use a computer to power it.

I did not measure exactly but weekends from noon to night sometimes was enough sometimes I needed to replace the battery, I think 8-10 hours can do. I had two batteries because of my phone and I was replacing as needed.

Special adapter I had from my ipurifier is for the raspberry but this can be found on Amazon easily. The other one is for using directly to ione through a usb cable a to b from Amazon as well but this not so easy to find. That was one of my complains I would love to have a direct DC input from ipower to ione. My best workaround is now through the raspberry pi.

According to ifi it should have a power supply
" also includes a 5v USB power supply."
But I was not sure if it is an ipower one my guess was that it will be not. Unfortunately, it seems so...

Charging adapter from phone works for sure. Any 5v adapter works.
It includes a generic 5V USB power supply. I guess the iPower is a $50 device so throwing it in free with the $199 iOne would have been a big loss for the company.
Thanks, I'll look into one of these adapters if I end up getting the iPower. Will be nice once we can search threads again as I'm sure this has been brought up in one of the iPower threads.
I recieved the new improved version and hope to complete a full unboxing within the next couple of days.
With the usual review to follow in due time.
