I received an ifi DC Purifier today. Tried it with the RNHP, but the amp won't turn on. After plugging the ifi into the RNHP and plugging the RNHP power supply into the ifi, I flipped the RNHP power switch on. Instead of the amp turning on, the green light on the front flashed on and off and the amp would not turn on. I checked the voltage before and after the ifi and it read 24.2 volts DC. The amp says 24V DC at .25A and the power supply says 24V DC at .4 A. Not sure what the problem is as the ifi is rated at up to 24V DC at 3.5A. Should have no problem running the RNHP. I tried the ifi on another unit which outputs 5V DC and no problem there. Need to contact ifi to see what they say.

brookbi:are you using the ifi on your RNHP or are you using a different DC purifier?

Yes, I am using the ifi DC purifier.
It is plugged into the RNHP with my wall wart plugged into it.
There is the orange light on by the power symbol, not the +/-. If it is the other way around, I believe your phase is wrong and needs to be changed.
I haven't had any problems with it.
Good luck.

The orange light is on; the +/- light is not on. I tried a 24V DC linear power supply using the DC iPurifier and the amp turned on and worked ok. However, the ifi case got very hot so I turned everything off and went back to the RNHP power supply. Does your ifi case get hot to the touch?

I'm not quite sure if you're talking about using the iFi & the DC Purifier "in-line" w/ the RNHP ? Your mentioning the 2 different amperage ratings is what's throwing me off.

I was under the impression that the Purifier was only just that , not an alternate PS, A lot of amps are a bit sensitive about seeing a different amount of running amperage (more so than non amp devices) (I would occassionally plug the wrong wallwart into my McCormack Micro Line Drive & then scratch my head wonder why the power led was on but it wasn't working ,until I'd realized that I'd plugged the wrong ww line into it.)

The stock power source was developed by Rupert Neve specifically for the RNHP. That's good enough for me.

Yes, just checked, it is hot.
Never checked before, and I have never had a problem with it.

It is my understanding that the DC Purifier is to be used IN CONJUNCTION WITH the Rupert Neve power supply. The DC Purifier is an "assistant" rather than a replacement power supply. If your unit is running too hot, the DC Purifier unit may be defective. You could go over to the iFi site and open up a ticket. They're pretty responsive. They can answer all your questions.

Just picked on up for using primarily with AKSP1000 and Utopia whilst at home.

So far very good. Listening to Beth Gibbons Rustin Man album and it never sounded better.

No shortage of bass and background silent.

That she is, a noticeable improvement from my Polaris, and a great pairing with Focals. Crystal clear and perfectly silent, and since the Elears aren't hard at all to drive it gets plenty loud for me. I'll add my picture of the Utopias little brother...someday I'll get there!

Anyone has used this amp with shure srh1540?

 

[cheznous]

And for trips bought a ravpower pack. Works great.

'Purifier' says DC 'filter' not DC 'PS' to myself. (He,he,he...... This is the comment I should have left earlier,not the one I did make

Currently considering this or Jotenheim to use with my Aeons.
I am undecided.
I love the form factor and aesthetic of the Neve.
I have heard the Jot and it sounds great with the Aeon.

I would expect a similar flavour (or lack there of) from teh Neve.

I am currently just using an Alien+/iDSD Black with the Aeons, but finding the iDSD Black (as a dac/amp) is too warm sounding for the Aeons.

If you truly are an "audiophile bass head", I think the Neve might disappoint you. It's crisp, clean, clear and meticulous with it's sound. No enhancement at the bottom end, just nice and neutral.

That's all the bassheads need... well that, and enough stable power to EQ 15dB <100hz without distortion
