Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?

I mean...by improving its components, not with a YOUR preferred streamer brand...;-)
Sure, you can upgrade the C-7 power cord. We all get that.

But, what about the power supply.
I only see 3 options:

1. Fidelity in UK
2. Some dude in Poland selling on eBay
3. Rumors of Teddy Pardo making one for the Node 2i.

It has to be DIY for the first two and not really what I'm looking to do with my streamer - I mean, if i'm going to to a DIY LPS upgrade, I'd like it to be easier to buy.

Anybody know anything or actually made it work?

I got the PD Creative update from Poland and installed it in a node2.  It then requires an out board linear power supply which I didn’t know when I did it.. however  I got one from Amazon and installed a synergistic black fuse, and used a thick shielded 2.5mm cable to hook the power supply to the node.

May I ask what the total cost was?
It seems that the Teddy Pardo kit is expensive compared to the one from PD from Poland, but then there's more required than just the adapter from PD Creative, right?

So, I'm wondering what the PD setup costs, after adding in the other necessaries.

Thanks.

@jjss49 Ever more ahead with yours?

Thanks, all. So, $200 with the power supply. That's a good deal. 

@jjss49 asked whether it improved the sound when sending the sound out to an external DAC. Can you confirm that was your setup? I might have missed that detail in your descriptions, so if you can please repeat for me? Thank you.
