Best bang for the buck

The Carpathian is correct. There is good gear out there to be had for very reasonable prices.

I have a shelf half-full of vintage gear I got for free. Some are humble and serve to hone my skills, but some are perfectly desirable audiophile pieces that were turned down by repair shops.

Lanx’s fortitude vis-a-vis lowballers is admirable, but if no one reaches out to buy his gear he’ll just sit on it. Some folks want theirs gone, and sometimes that includes hifi shops, who aren’t exactly value-naive.

@edinphiladelphia is the iFi you got this one?   https://a.co/d/0cghbYg6
I have otherwise done the same as you, but for the iFi anf have found the results to be awesome.  It looks like the 5v is on sale for Prime Day.  Just want to make sure I get the right one.  Thank you!

i bought the 9v. Read the descriptions of the parts you are buying very carefully. Everything should match up. Sitting here on my phone and away from my computer I can’t remember the exact details, but I’m very happy with how it turned out.

I went and looked up my order. The TP Link unit was 9 volt. You have to match the power supply with the unit.
