It works with virtually any DC powered device and comes in 5, 9, 12 and 15 volts.
Just check the correct voltage and away you go. Clean, audiophile grade power.
When is a plug no ordinary plug? When it’s an iFi iPower.
Use an iPower to replace your regular power supply for clean, noise pollution free power.
Power hungry
Got underlying noise in your system you can’t explain?
It could be as simple as your power supply.
Upgrade to the iFi iPower to feed your system’s circuits with clean, audiophile grade power and address issues at both the output and input stages.
iPower for LED lights
Photography? No way. iPower can also solve my flickering LED light problem?
Yes, a constant current and voltage power supply like iPowerX will ensure that the current supplied to your LED system will remain stable, no matter the fluctuations of the AC power in your wall socket.
It can be used all over the world as it comes with pins for the USA, United Kingdom, Europe and Australasia.
Quiet! Active Noise Cancellation+® (ANC+) at work!
Exceptionally quiet power. The measured noise floor is 100x quieter than the common noise filter.

Oh bleep! I expected nothing but it works
I actually used it for a different application to most, I bough it for a Sony PSHX500 turntable. In fact I really do not believe it can do much different to most dacs, as dacs and streamers have already circuit filters but well in the turntable sector one of the first upgrades are linear power supply, yet this not exactly such but neither is my turntable a Rega Planar 3. I just hoped a better switching power supply would mean better pitch stability. I tried it thinking sure I will return it.

works well, but needed to buy more tips
on my Cambridge Audio Dac Magic 100 the tips did not fit so I purchased a huge set of 34 tips and found one that worked. The background is blacker, detail better, and can play louder with less congestion

Improved the sound from my Roberts Stream radio
I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased by the difference this power supply has made to the sound from my Roberts Stream 83i radio. Everything is that bit sharper and brighter than before, so the power supply does what it claims to do. The array of adapters and connections that come with it in the box also enable it to serve as a versatile travel adapter. Overall, worth the money and a worthwhile upgrade for any suitable hi-fi components.

You can hear the difference!
Bought this as an upgrade for my Raspberry Pi/HiFiBerry DAC2 HD combination. Audible improvement in sound quality. A bit more space and definition and no system noise. Excellent upgrade to a low cost front end for a high end audiophile system.

Subtle Improvement
I am in the process of tweaking my computer audio system. I was mildly dissatisfied with the audio quality of my Schiit Modi 3 when powered by the PC over a Pangea Premier USB cable carrying data and power. I then began running it from a 2A USB tablet charger. It provided a modest improvement. I read a few places online that this ifi iPower adapter provides clean and quiet power over its microUSB attachment. I bought one and connected it my Modi 3. It provided a greater improvement in audio quality than going from PC power to tablet charger. It’s a keeper.

Eliminates electrical interference.
This combined with the defender+ completely fixed the electrical interference nightmare I was having in my recording studio. Wish I had been advised about it sooner.

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
EMI is a type of interference caused by errant and unwanted electromagnetic waves that are received and amplified by an audio system. They cause some of the annoying ‘audio gremlins’ we often talk about.
RFI (Radio-frequency interference)
Radio-frequency interference (RFI) is very similar to electromagnetic interference (EMI) but is found in the radio frequency spectrum. It is another source of irritating, unwanted noise often talked about as an ‘audio gremlin’.
Top tip: just don’t add water.
Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
A switched-mode power supply is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently. It transfers power from a DC or AC source to DC loads, such as a personal computer, while converting voltage and current characteristics.
Switch-mode power supplies are widely used because of the advantages they offer in terms of size, weight, cost, efficiency and overall performance. They are in themselves noisy and were not designed with audio in mind.
Active Noise Cancellation
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) reduces unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound wave specifically designed to cancel out the first. This basically results in no sound at all as it reaches unwanted sound even at the lowest frequencies.
Passive noise cancellation is done by means of insulating filters and works best on the middle to high frequencies. It does not work on the lower frequencies meaning that some sound can still be heard.
