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?

jjss49,
I use an external DAC and find both the PD Creative modified Node2i and new NODE tremendously improved. I’ve just added the Sbooster lps to the NODE and it’s a Significant upgrade as well. My system is listed near the end of a similar thread (see post 8-17-21) here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/bluesound-node-2i-vs-upscale-streamers
Btw, as a stand alone streamer I find the NODE a notch or two above the 2i (Mean Well smps powering each).
