[QUOTE="Gohde, post: 1064911, member: 24319"] I just made some shielded USB to DC cables to test with a higher quality USB power supply and compare that with the iPower. The Zen DAC and Zen CAN take 5V 2.4A, which is USB spec. I will try out a Sundara, SHP9500 and maybe an IEM to see if I can hear any difference and report back. I might even try and do a blind test where I won?t know what is being used. It?ll obviously still be subjective. This was mostly inspired by looking through jitter and noise measurements of USB power supplies and the better ones really measure very well and are pretty clean power. So let?s see (I might even try a new GaN one from Anker that meant to be more efficient and less noisy). [/QUOTE]
