clearthink:Do yourself a favor and ignore certain noise that is on this thread. This "noise" seems to have an agenda against iFi and infects this thread I created to share my experiences with an exceptional device at a down to earth price. I think...

Kalali:it will sound good out of the box, better at 100 hours. I gave you the amount of time where I noticed no more gains. I would listen to the unit but during working hours, I would burn it in or during times I was away from home. I break a lot...

dougolsen and glennewdick:its going to to keep getting better up to about 700hrs but that is actually with a signal run through it. Simply being plugged into the socket wil help to some degree. I bought an inexspensiv FM tuner on this site specifi...

dougolsen:The unit  does run hot. It'll be fine, heat is a necessary evil of class A. I leave mine on 24/7 and I've been doing so for over a year, no issues at all :)The fuse is of the larger variety 6x32mm.and yes, I think I already regret it 😏

If, I sounded preachy that was not my intent and apologize. Just busy and wanted to get that all out there while I had a few moments to pull away from the computer :) It is after all about listening to great music on great systems.

rauliruegas:Let me chime in here and speak on my own behalf. I am probably going to regret this. rauliruegas you wrote:"That’s why I posted is a " tricky " design. It’s not a true SS design and certainly not a full bipolar one."The iPhono is solid...

Lewm: The word mitigate was perhaps a poor choice. I can reduce the overall negative effects but I can not totally eradicate it unless I get rid of the supply itself. This is why I replaced the SMPS in my Mac. We we don't agree if you believe a SM...

Pani:Awesome!!! Please let me know what you hear upon return. I have a good idea but I won't say so as not to taint the waters.

Invictus005:Thank you for literally making me laugh out loud! I’ll keep it :) I have ways to mitigate what I don’t like. It really is an outstanding table.

lewm:It is interesting that switching amplifers, when powered by a linear supply do not negatviely affect my system. I have owned Spectron (the 1KW) and it never affected my system. In fact about 15 or so years ago I was speaking with John Ulrich ...

lewm: At the end of the day, I can plug my GAE in to the wall or one of my power regenerators and EASILY hear the sound of my system tank, when listeninng to my digital, R2R or my MK3. Nothing else does this except items with SMPS's. If you say yo...

I especially like how the responder to the posters questions refers to switching noise as "the devil’s harmonica" :) LOL

lewm: I have ALWAYS been obssessed with power supply quality. It is after all what you are listening to arguably moreso than anything else. You are listening to a modulated rectified signal from the wall and SMPS spew a TON of garbage RF all over ...
