  I just got a reply to my enquiry, the 5v will hit the store the first week of October. A little slow of update due to the over demand of 9v version. 

 
So... is anyone finding these in the US? Would love to buy two of these...

The 5v launches next week but there is a small waiting list as peope have pre-ordered. So you may receive it towards the end of October/early Nov.
 
We do apologise but we didnt anticipate the requests.
 
Any questions, just ask.
 
Kind regards

Thanks for that; what if my preferred retailer is Amazon?
 
Music Direct is fine, but why don't you guys sell your gear through Amazon? Serious question, not trying to be annoying.

I checked a while ago and it is on the page now from Music Direct.

Yes, it is. And I ordered my third iPower (5v model). My CC hasn't been charged for the full price, yet, so I assume it's still not available.

Hi,
 
We don't sell direct, our distributors for each country will supply Amazon.
 
So if you are based in the USA then Avatar Acoustics will be your best bet for more information regarding Amazon.
 
Thanks!

An update on my problem from post #38

I contacted iFi support about the issue on a couple days after that post. I'm happy to report that I (finally) received a 'cherry picked' iPower a few days ago to replace the noisy iPower. The new iPower came with an adapter that can switch the plug polarity.

The new iPower is much quieter than the noisy iPower. I could hear the bad one from at least 5 feet away, the new one I can only hear from less than 1 foot away. That's still not as quiet as the original ULNA that came with the iUSB which I could only hear if I put my ear on it.

I hear some overall subtle improvements in music with the iPower powering my iUSB (versus the original ULNA).

 
Hello,
 
I have 2 iPowers, one for my iUSB (9v) and one for my Ami Musik DS5 dac (5v).

They both make a high pitched noise, the 5v iPower being the worse (the 9v is ok, your really have to put your ear on it to hear it). I managed to "isolate" them so that I don't hear the sound anymore, with success. However I contacted ifi to know if keeping the noisy one was dangerous and if I should return it (I don't live in the UK), I am waiting for their reply.
 
 
As for the improvements in SQ, they were quite audible, both for the iUSB and the DS5 dac (I tried the iUSB first, then the DAC).
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.

Will do.
 
Edit : iFi replied there : http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f30-abbingdon-music-research-ifi-audio-sponsored/high-pitch-noise-9v-ipower-26086/
 
And I read this : http://www.howtogeek.com/200466/why-do-some-ac-adapters-and-power-supplies-make-a-whining-noise/

Apparently it's not dangerous, but in the meantime I will stop using it until iFi contact me.
