I changed my Node 2i power supply with a LHY PSU. I made a decision to use an Sbooster external power supply instead of LHY power supply because I have other Sbooster an am very happy with its performance and quality.

I'm very impressed at how this power supply transformed the sound of my Bluesound Node 2i. It made the streamer sound like one costing 5 times as much, in my opinion. I bought the internal board upgrade from PD Creative and he suggested I purchase this power supply and I'm very happy with my purchase. it sounds awesome! highly recommended

Have a Volare tt, with a HRS/Mofi Superheavyweight Champion record weight, the Derenville Platter Mat and Isoacoustics Orea Indigo footers. Since purchase of my tt back in October 2021, I always thought of purchasing the linear power supply for the Volare, since I wanted to know how much 'more' of an improvement can the linear power supply provide. As for which linear power supply ... that was the question. I knew since the beginning that there was Feickert's own at $895 US, or the sBooster (available from Upscale Audio at $419 for the 24v/1.1 A). Sean-Paul from Upscale Audio had told me back then that Feickert's case was metal, while the sBooster case was plastic. Now that I decided to get the power supply a few weeks ago, I emailed him back to ask what he would recommend... his reply back (which I don't know if intentional or felt it would be up to me since they do have a money-back guarantee coverage) of being 'neutral' and to say 'they both were in stock'. Ok, ok Sean-Paul... I hear you, I hear you... Well, I decided on the sBooster and received it a couple of weeks ago. It came with the free 90 degree adapter for the Volare tt (which gave it another 5 inches approximate length) which you had to indicate on the order form. Right off the bat, I could hear a noticeable improvement. Sounding better and better over the past few days with deepER and tightER bass, yes more 'air'/'dimensionality', more 'it sounds right' like with voice, piano, trombone, trumpet, etc. An example is Air Supply's 'One Night Only/30th Anniversary' lp (of 2004/the one with the pink colored vinyl lp) which before without the linear power supply sounded dead/boring and I thought a 'waste of my money'. But with the power supply in the system, it brought life/'vitality' into the performance ! So yes, I would encourage those of you 'on the fence' as to whether to get a linear power supply to do so... I am pleased with the sBooster enough that the Feickert's metal case was not a necessity. As the product was narrow but depth being longer, I was able to fit it on the same rack with my Eastern Electric Minimax preamp with extra space available. It IS a 'must' buy option !

Well built, solid upgrade to the original power supply that came with my Chord Qutest. I'm always a bit wary of bold statements and big promises, but the Sbooster substantially lowered the noise and brought a bit more definition to an already great device.

Using Sbooster 5-6v to power Arcam rDoc Uni. Streaming iPad Mini6 USB > rDoc Uni SPDIF > Audio Note Kits DAC 4.1 > Audio Note Kits Preamp L5.1 > Prima Luna Dialog Premium HP Monos > Apogee Duetta Signature speakers. With Sbooster power music seemed to have more clarity and energy and soundstage was on a larger scale. I thought the sBooster made a nice improvement in the listening experience.

I'm new to streaming music. I added this Sbooster to a Bluesound Node streamer using an aftermarket motherboard. There was a noticeable increase in sound quality, so much so that I will probably hold off on buying a Lumin or Auralic streamer for now. Quick shipping from Upscale Audio.
