IFi Zen Stream with Qobuz

@temmple I use an iFi iPowerX — never used the stock PS so can’t tell you how much it improved the sound, but I’m very impressed with what I’m hearing FWIW.  I didn’t want to spend as much on a PS as I did for the ZS so the iPowerX was a logical/easy choice at least for me.  

I am looking at the Aune XP2 power supply and think it might work with the ifi and then I could use the second DC port for the X8 DAC as long as the connectors are the same on ifi and Aune. 

I just double checked and the ifi needs 1.8 amps and the XP2 only outputs 1 amp so might not be a go. Wishing I could find a decent linear power supply for the Zen Stream that is not $280. Anyone know of a good linear that would work with the ifi that’s around $100-$150?

This should work just fine.  LHY is the power supply division of Jays Audio.  Reach out to Todd at TEK Audio Specialties in Texas.  

If your looking to spend less the the TeraDak R-Core LPS from Ali Express works just fine.  I've been using one with the Zen Stream for several months. I used another TeraDak LPS with and Aires Mini for almost six years.  

Thanks for the links! Found this one as well.

What voltage did you go with? I was thinking if I get a dual ported PS I could plug my DAC and Streamer into it and only need one power supply. Read somewhere that the Zen Stream sounds better at the higher voltage but not sure on that one.

Do you know the polarity and barrel connector size for the Zen Stream?
