I wonder how the newer Fiio PL50 stacks up in the LPS field. Any comparisons out there?

Thanks for the quick feedback. It's great to hear that iPower Elite works great with turntables. Please share with us when you hear back from your tech staff.

Will do, sure, and thanks!

I’m thinking of getting the Ifi power elite to use with my fiio m17 when it’s on the mains power. Anybody tried this and did it make any improvements to the sound?

Thanks for considering it and if I may ask, what PSU are you using right now?

I’m just using the one that came with the m17

The feedback we got thus far about our iPower Elite for other DAPs was quite positive, so this PSU might make a difference within your setup. This however depends on how much M17 benefits from an external power supply.

Hi!
I have Ifi Zen stream and I gonna buy a psu for it.
There is a Guy here selling a MCRU on the used market.

Can Anyone say something about this?

Im choosing between that and the power Elite.
Cost isnt the issue. I only want best sound.

Which should I pick?

Does Ifi power elite sound better or does the MCRU sound better?

I have a high resolution stereo.

Does Ifi power elite sound better or does the MCRU sound better?

That's a good question and I'd like to know the answer too. Not sure what are the odds that someone here actually had both these PSUs and compared them, but there's one thing worth taking into account. ZEN Stream can operate with PSUs from 9 to 15V, but many people reported that it sounds better if powered by 13 or 15V devices. So if you're after a power supply specifically for ZEN Stream, it's good to keep that in mind, thanks!

Can I run ZS with the power supply rated at 12V DC 1A, but the voltmeter shows 17V when measured?
Thanks

12V DC is okay for ZEN Stream (it's good up to 15V), but this power supply should measure around 12V yet outputs significantly more, so I wouldn't use it. Better safe than sorry

Hello, I`m Ifi zen stream user for a while with stock PSU. Now I`m at the spot on deciding of adding ~500 EUR linear PSU or changing streamer to eversolo A6.
Maybe someone here could comment or even compared Ifi Zen stream with good quality PSU vs eversolo A6? Eversolo everywhere gets good reviews and rated as better in all parameters over Ifi Zen stream, but I suppose all these comparisons were done with Ifi stock PSU.

a very bad power supply looks like this

ifi ipower gives good performance
then ifi power elite must be 5 times better
as good as Farad Super3

to go from ifi xpower, to ifi power elite
getting a new hifi system.
ifi power elite, is very clean sound.
piano gives a lot of dynamics, the sound sounds better, clean I would say
saxophone is somewhat the same.
have a lot of barry white tracks, it can't hear what sings.
but ifi power elite sings he ,more nuanced, so listen to what he sings,
holographic sound, is top notch.
the bass is good, mids are rock solid, good treble.
treble sibilants, (s- and sj-sounds are almost gone.
i have usb dcc,singxer su2 with oscon capacitor.
as better, than general capacitor.
before singxer su2 sounded. like a sawmill on some tracks
but now it is all gone.
so ifi power elite is almost like a battery it sounds like it makes a difference.
listening on neumann 310a studio monitors which reveal everything

Purchased the iFi iPower Elite 15v to replace the iFi iPower X (15v) feeding the ZS.
If the contribution to the SQ will be less noticable, then I will use it to feed my iFi iCan Pro amplifier.

Wonder, can this Elite's power be splited to feed the two devices together?
Thanks.

Anyone know if the ifi 12v ipower elite can be used to power a mini pc with a pico power supply and TDP of 65w?
It says 60W controller on the ifi ipower elite but these things usually have much higher headroom when well engineered...
