Hi ! sorry if i missed it, you mean that you have added a DC iPurifier to a SMPS with good result ? which SMPS ?
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,

yep, that is what a meant! i'll post soon on this board about that, especially devoted to the "fundamentalist believers"
and to people with open mind who like experimenting by themselves on new territories... :)
best, paco
Hi and thanks a lot for the kind reply.
As i said i am particularly interested in power supplies topics lately.
And SMPS are so handy. Without too much noise they could be a good option.
Thanks a lot again.

I don't see the audiophile logic behind the iFi design concept. As it applies to the design of many audiophile components, half the battle is the implementation of a robust and well-regulated linear power supply section. A high-performance linear DC power supply plugged into a high-performance AC power line conditioner is a tried-and-true audiophile approach rather than filtering a dirty switch mode wall-wart. I can't imagine replacing the linear power supply section of any of my audio components with the iFi approach, so I don't understand why one might choose an iFi outboard power supply configuration vs. an outboard linear power supply unit.
Hi !
thanks a lot for your very helpful advice.
If i understand well you see this device as a band-aid for a poorly designed/built ps ?
I am less "integralist" in the sense that i am always trying to evaluate the benefit/cost ratio.
I see that it costs around 100 USD.
A decent SMPS should be let's say 30 USD ?
Is it possible to find a linear PS of 130 USD with superior performance ?
this would be my question in the end.
On another hand i think that this device is very cute and handy. Like SMPS are also ... very small, reliable, cheap.Lately i have become quite obsessed by power supplies quality because i truly believe that they can make a huge difference in sound, especially with the average quality of the mains voltage.
I would love to have the opportunity to use a scope to see the noise.
Noise blurs the sonic image for instance, the soundstage is not so defined and materic.
It is a very fascinating topic this one of the power supplies.
For instance i would like to see some scope screens about different commercial SMPS with and without this filter ... i would be very curious.
I like when they promote devices displaying scope screens.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
