I can hear an audible difference in my digital music when I added the SBooster to my Lumin T2 DAC. The music is richer, fuller with more detail. The sound stage has definitely expanded. I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks goes out to the team at Upscale Audio, especially my sales advisor Kat. She is the best!

I attached a $400 Sbooster to a $300 DAC. That seems extravagant, but it makes such a great improvement over the wall wart--It's worth every penny, maybe even more. I suspect that this or a similar combination would be pretty competitive with many much more expensive DAC's with an internal (or external) linear power supply. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I loved my Roku Ultra's video performance, but hated the audio: weak bass, thin midrange, glaring highs, flat and narrow soundstage. Replacing the Ethernet switch with one optimized for audio helped a lot; so did adding a DC iPurifier2 to the output of the Roku's cheap wall wart switching power supply. But to get anything approaching world class audio, the wall wart had to go. The Sbooster delivered: Deep punchy visceral bass, a full and rich midrange, sweet highs, and a soundstage that's wide and deep. Panning and blending between front, side, and rear channels is better too. Dialog is more intelligible in movie scenes and sounds more like I'm there at the shooting than hearing a recording of it. It may be silly getting a power supply four times the cost of the device it's driving, but it's clear to me now why the power supply is the single most expensive component in a high-end device. My one criticism of the Sbooster is that it didn't come with a shielded AC power cord, but that's only minor and was an easy fix.

Loving this upgrade for my Lumin U1 Mini. Sound stage got larger with improved low&top end noticeably. It's no brainer upgrade if you own the Lumin U1 Mini.

I got into a discussion about PSU upgrades for my phono preamp and decided to go with this unit as the price was right and Upscale's return policy made in a risk free trial. The addition of this unit has made my Parks Audio Budgie phono pre as good as some multi $I units. Specifically dynamics, and tonal richness have increased in quality as has soundstage depth and specificity. A crazy improvement fornthe money!

Added to a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge. It has added some more pace and rhythm and also allows the Mytek to run slightly cooler. Cheep tweek.
