Thanks for all the info and options on LPS. I appreciate it. I do not want to pivot this thread into a discussion on different LPS, but would like to generally know if I would see a performance difference between the Auralic LPS and one of these aftermarket options which seem to be plentiful. I am sure Auralic would like me to purchase their LPS and maybe that is the best move, I just want to make a prudent decision. That aside, I will be purchasing the mini and look forward to having an easy way to stream my music economically.

Yikes. I'm not trying to be a cheapie, but $300 for a LPS just seemed a bit high. That said, I would pay for it if that option is the best one. I wonder if anyone else has had one of these DOA or explode on them? Thanks for the cautionary tale.

I cant' wait to grab one of these. I am wishing to use a LPS but I was wondering if I could use something like this. Talema Transformer External Linear Power Supply PSU for DAC with Digital Display | eBay I would need to have it on the 15v setting and use a 2.1 to 2.5 adapter on the end but for $80 it seems like it would work? Am I correct about this or off in lala land.
