I felt that the Wyrd sounded better than the iUSB. But, when I used the HDPlex power supply for the iUSB, I liked the iUSB better than the Wyrd.2 of my friends that have the iUSB tried it with the HDPlex and also liked it better than the stock power supply. In fact, they thought the sound was much better.
What is better?
I felt that the iUSB was bright sounding with its standard power supply. The Wyrd was more neutral sounding. Connecting the HDPlex to the iUSB resulted in a bigger, more relaxed sound, with no brightness.

As soon as the iUSB was launched it's been communicated on the net that swapping the PS for a better one makes a difference.I guess Thorsten thought the PS to feed the iUSB is "good enough", since the iUSB measured "good enough" from his perspective.
Or his marketing said: It's "good enough". We need some space left for next year.
Or the AMR branch makes sure that iFi with its product line won't surpasses the red "good enough" line towards "serious" audio.OK. There's nothing wrong with it. The problem is if product associated marketing phrases "The quietest USB Supply ever", "Quieter than a battery", "IsoEarth", "never been anything like that", you name it, set highest expectations.
I'd be very disappointed, if I'd realize that swapping just the simple wall wart kind of nils these phrases.However. Things need to be put into perspective. People must understand that you compare a well made $350 PS against a probably $20 PS. If there wouldn't be a difference you'd again blown plenty of bucks on your "hobby" and I'd take my hat off to Thorsten (Not sure if you would say it this way in US ;) ).
Interesting to me is, that it requires 2 friends for confirmation. ;)
Enjoy.
