How do you attach an external power supply to SU-1 anyway?
Here is a cheaper one:

I ordered my Singxer SU-1 and hope to receive it soon. I also have an iFi iSilencer and Holo Titanis USB regenerator. Wondering if it is useful to add one or both to the signal path from PC before SU-1 so that it has a better incoming signal on which to work it's magic, or if too many USB noise reducers / reclockers / regenerators might do more harm than good. I plan to use I2S output from the SU-1 once my new DAC arrives, and would appreciate input (pun intended) as to whether it is useful to use the iSilencer and Holo Titanis in the circuit as well.
Thanks!
Just a heads up...I have been using a Teknet battery to supply 5v to the SU-1 and incoming VBUS. This offered a nice little improvement over the AC power. Yesterday I replaced the battery with the Uptone LPS-1 and got a huge improvement! The overall realism and soundstaging has never sounded better!
Removal of the back IEC power cable socket and have the new linear power supply's cable enter that way, or somehow fit a quieter voltage regulator/power supply within the SU-1 itself and still utilize the IEC, but of course needs to be hardwired, soldered, crimped.
Singxer SU-1 doesn't offer fixing of the signal integrity. I would say the iFi iSilencer should help to re-balance the signal prior to entering the SU-1 unit.
Should not harm or add latency, but I recommend an iPurifier2 over the iSilencer.
Anything I need to do with the switch for my Holo Spring?
Ah, thanks, Energy. I didn't realize SU-1 doesn't "rebuild" the signal so one or both of my other USB "decrapifier" type devices may be useful. There are so many available these days, hard to keep straight which does what to the signal.
It's a shame reading about all the Software updates, Connections, and Power issues with the SU-1
These two would eliminate those hassles although for a little more coin....

The Hydra Z will work on the 5 volt power from the USB input, but if your supply your own LPS, it will turn off that incoming power from your computer's USB cable.
I should be getting my pair next week....I hope they work as advertised...
You don't have to set the bit depth or sample rate manually, the i2s output on the singxer su-1 sends out whatever your computer or player sends it via the usb port. works great on my ps audio dac
What file it is from the source is what it plays.
The XMOS of a DAC is asynchronous as it controls timed interval of 1's and 0's received to help by re-clocking to help with jitter. Signal that passes after being clocked already should be synchronous in terminology.
