@iFi audio I received an iPowerX today with plans to use it with my Schiit Lokius. I plugged it in and zero power. I thought based on the limited information I could about the power requirements that the 15V version would work. Is there something maybe I'm missing?
I do not own a Lokius. Just looked on the Schitt Lokius product page and it says requires a 14-16VAC transformer. Is the iPower X 15 volt output DC or AC?
Note:
- Can’t get the quote function to work, sorry. My post should be seen in conjunction with user ‘presense’s posts and findings on the missing ground in ifi elite on previous pages.

What about current users ifi?!!! I have two elites! Making that kind of fix for future elites proves that the product was flawed to begin with.
Ifi, You need to address this and tell us what’s changed and why and are the new elite products coming out safer and / or better at handling noise in any way ?
I do apologize for being a bit direct but my patience with the current ifi company is at a low point. Zen stream ain’t working consistently, software is a mess. And dropping by the new ‘improved and mighty powerful’ Diablo 2s thread isn’t encouraging either…
I'm thinking about getting one of these (5v version) but it would be to power a device with a USB B (the square one) socket and I can't find a suitable adapter. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies, it's a Waxwing (https://parksaudiollc.com), a new phono front end/ADC that replaces the Puffin. As you can see in the picture, it is poweered by 5v DC from a normal wall wart so I'm hoping the clean supply from an iPowerX will get the best from it but I've searched Ebay and Amazon and can't find a round DC socket (to connect to the iPower) to USB-B adaptor. I've got the socket and can cut a USB-B cable and make it work if necessary but it'll be easier to just buy a ready made one if such a thing is available.
. . . have never seen a USB-B DC input. Once had a [Topping E50] DAC with, I believe, a micro-USB (B) DC input and got the Topping P50 linear power supply which had an option for a micro-USB out . . .
