Looks like the Singxer F-1 is the best value for money? I'm still reading randomly on all 218 pages and counting.
I almost went for the Yellowtec PUC2.

Anybody have a photo close-up of the regulators they use?  They are attached o the vertical heat sinks.

LM2940, check post #3155
 
Output noise 150uVrms

It is 150 noisier than a psu ifi iPower given for 1uV...

Hi !
 
Replacing its stock psu seems very doable. It should not be a show-stopper ...
 

 

 
i am more concerned about the circuits pcb design and construction 
the SU1 looks very different from the F1 ... which the better design ?
 
Then I could always use any high quality external psu with a simple mod (i.e. adding a DC socket on the back panel)
Like the Audiobyte Hydra Z

Yes I posted those photos a long time ago - on folks who replaced the SMPS on their Mutec with LPS.
 
The SU-1 is NOT a very different design then the F-1.  Similar components on a larger board to accommodate the additional output sockets and the inclusion of a power supply board.

I agree - with a small investment in a split USB cable - running the power leg into a TeraDak X1/X2 - killer good package, for very low cost.

Yes it is.  I power my F-1 with a TeraDak LPS WITH a iFi DC iPurifier.  So linear power with <1uv  noise.

Hi !  sorry I did not see that. 
Thanks a lot for the valuable information.

Hello,

Did anybody test the singxer F-1 with a Squeezebox Touch ? I'm not sure the xmos will easely recognized by the SBT...

 


Touch with EDO mod works fine straight into the Gustard U12, if that is any help. I am not sure if the power scheme is the same with the F-1, but you will have problems with anything that severs the +5V line.

No worries

Jcat USB isolator from intona built for audio. Any comments?

 

[rw35]

I bet Jcat bought the OEM board from Intona and fitted it into a metal box, there is no mention of any modifications?
 
I lined my Intona internally with EMI copper tape.

My pleasure, hope you can spot the difference nakedly. Through my old eyes it looks the same. But the black casing is soooo much better then the plastic itona. It also complement the black casing F1 from singxer that should arrive soon.

Yes it is.  I much prefer the GB LAN USB extender solution.  Perfect compatibility, better clocking, better power supply options, true galvanic isolation, and the ability to transmit USB through GB LAN switches and Wifi.
 
Of all the USB gadgets I have tried - without a doubt had greatest SQ improvement.
