hi there, the iFI guys say that the iPower betters most audiophile LPS's... did anyone compare the iPower with any LPS? which one? to what results? also, i wonder why they lauched the DC iPurifier, since it is contained on the iPower; i asked them about using the iPower together with the DC iPurifier, and they replied: it would be overkill best, paco |

1. The DC Purifier covers all voltages from 5-24V not just the ones as supplied by the iPower. You're more flexible. 2. The DC Purifier allows higher currents -- up 2 3.5A 3. Old school audiophiles feel better with linear supplies + noise filter 4. $50 for the iPower is too cheap. Nothing for the die-hard audiophile.
On the other side noise level is very low. This would have higher priority Bottom line I'm more than happy with the iPower. No need for a linear supply, no need for a DC Purifier.
