Where do I get one of these in the US? No word on Music Direct. I also want a 5v iPower (I am using 2 9v iPower adapters).

Did you actually call Music Direct or just look at their site? I haven't spoken to them since the 15th.

Oh... I just looked at their site; didn't occur to me to call them. I will do that, tomorrow.

Not sure. It would cost extra, but you would save on the price of the standard PSU.

The iPower has been shipping with iCAN, iTUBE and iUSBPower since February or March.

I bought an iCAN in June in the UK and it came with the standard PSU.

Maybe it came from an old stock

I ordered three and those are already arrived at the local dealer but I haven't had time to pick them up.
I'm looking forward to try the iPower.

Must have been old stock. Why don't you open a ticket with iFi Audio and politely explain that you feel a little disappointed to have received a ULN PSU rather than an iPower given that all iCANs should have had an iPower included at that time.

Hi,
 
To answer this question, in March 2015, there was a global announcement that the iPower would be shipping with the powered iFi devices. This included a price increase among other things, to reflect the upgraded power supply.
 
Hence as you purchased after March and as you paid the new higher price, then you should receive the iPOWER.
 
As you are in England, just PM us with information of your retailer and any receipts you may have. We'll chase up for you.
 
It would not be fair if you paid the higher price but did not receive the iPOWER. We'd be more than glad to sort an iPOWER out for you.
 
Cheers.

Well, I have mine ordered in the good ol' US of A. I should be getting this before the weekend. Yay! I will make sure to post a full review.

Hmmm...maybe someone from the US of K will beat you to it?

Maybe even someone from Ireland.

Hi
 
Thanks for the reply. I actually live in Jersey, Channel Islands, so got the UK VAT taken off. I'm sure the original price was the lower, non iPOWER price as it was the same as other retailers were asking and no mention of the upgraded p/s was mentioned on the packaging. The retailer concerned was "Mains Cables R US" who I have always found to be very good.
 
I've subsequently bought two iPowers for my iUSB and iCAN, so all is well!
 
Regards
 
Darren

How does this differ from the iUSB Power Supply?

How does this differ from the iUSB Power Supply?

Upon putting the iUSB3.0 into my system and 5 seconds later, I noticed a huge improvement in sound quality. Without going into a bunch of audiophile speak, going form the iUSB 2.0 to the 3.0 is like going from a Camry to a Corvette! Right off the bat what grabed my attention was the bass....and then the silence of the back ground....and third the balance of the music and wide sound stage. Its like the iUSB3.0 is on steroids! And 75 minutes later, it was even better! And now using it with a Jtter Bug.... Its worth the money.
 
This is whats listed on the iFI site.
 
The micro iUSB3.0 addresses all 8 significant USB audio gremlins that lead to poor

quality computer audio in one fell swoop:

• Corrects signal balance

• Suppresses frame noise

• Suppresses packet noise

• Ultra clean power

• Eliminates ground noise

• Corrects impedance mis-match

• Eliminates USB Jitter

• Restores signal integrity
