LPS for Node 2i. Acopian?


Looking to buy either the PD Creative or LHY upgrade filter board for the Bluesound Node 2i.

I see lots of LHY lps online and Sbooster is popular, but has anyone used Acopian?

I know these robust ps have been used in industry for decades and I have seen many critical instrumentation applications, as that is my field. 

A 5v 3+ amp unit is priced under $300.00. I know quality is there, but are there other concerns when it comes an audio application?

Thanks for any useful feedback.

Hilde45 nice gear! Did you build the Q diffusers? Is that a new listening room in progress?

I am gald to see your using an Acopian. Which filter upgrade board did you use for your Node / Node 2i?

I may have to go with the LHY. At least theyve been very responsive on my emails.

PD Creative has not replied after 2 emails.

 

Thanks marco1. I still havent heard back from PD Creative after a week and 2 emails. I tired another brand of an upgrade board for the Node 2i and that didnt workout so I guess Ill go with LHY board, but leaning toward Acopian LPS as hilde45 used. 

Notlistening, PD finally did reply, but cost over $100 + $43 for shipping to US. Dont know where you found different.

Between PDs cost and their slow response I went with LHY $95 with tax, free shipping,, extended return time, quick replys from vendor. Board was actually free as I had a gift card.

I saw alot of old unused Acopians online, but after talking to rep at Acopian I was told, as I suspected, caps dry up after 10 -15 years.

Got a good deal on a dual output Keces, reviewed well by an established audiophile poster here.

Thanks for your post though.
