    Super (capacitor) charging your iFi Zen Can (and other zen products and possibly other manufacturers)

    Great I'll leave it alone. I did notice a boost and minor improvement when I switched from the stock to the X. It's my understanding there's no galvanic isolation in the Zen One, correct? I'm currently using the micro iUSB 3.0 and the iGalvanic on it.

    I'm currently using the iFi iPower X 5v/3A on my Zen One Signature DAC. How much further can I realistically go/get if I upgrade? And nothing over 5A or 5.5A should be used if I'm understanding this correctly? Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Has anyone tried these with an Apple dongle? How do they sound or get driven? I would think not great but idk.

    Reply to review by 'stuck limo' on item 'Sennheiser HD 558'

    My very first pair of serious headphones. Loved them for years and gave them to a friend of mine who also enjoyed them.

    THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.

    Currently burning in a pair of ATH-M30x. Got them for my dad so he could listen to YouTube videos on his PC. They're nicer than anything he's had in modern times. Initial impressions are that the m40x sound more natural, smoother and have a richer timbre to them. These sound a bit harsh and...

    I've seen that documentary! It was really great. Very classy and well done. The NAD 3020 is one of the best selling receivers of all time. It was my dad's so it's been in the family since before I was born. He wanted to "upgrade" it so he got a cheap Sony and I took the NAD and had it fully...

    Just hooked up my iFi iTube2 as a pre-amp to my fully restored NAD 3020. Sounds really good! I love this receiver. Cranking some Monkees right now. The bass sounds huge on this setup. (with Monitor Audio Silver 9i)

    iFi audio iPower X - The Official Thread

    A better cable would be great. I don't know why they made it so thin this time. The iPower 2 has a really nice thick cable.

    iFi audio ZEN One Signature - be at One with your sound!

    As well as the ipurifier function, I would have liked to seen galvanic isolation built in. As it stands now I use the iGalvanic in my chain but it would have been nice to be able to eliminate that.

    iFi audio iPower X - The Official Thread

    I added an iPower X to my iFi iTube2 used as a pre-amp to my Marantz PM-8004 driving my Monitor Audio Silver 9i towers. I was previously using the stock power supply. I immediately noticed deeper, stronger, more authoritative bass. The mids *may* (MAY) be slightly richer, but I wouldn't stake a...

    Not desktop related, but I use an iFi iTube2 as a pre-amp to my Marantz PM-8004 occasionally. I upgraded the stock 15v power supply to an @iFi audio iPower X. Immediately I'm getting bigger, deeper bass out of my speakers (Monitor Audio Silver 9i). The mids may (MAY) be slightly richer but I...
