“I'm very impressed at how this power supply transformed the sound of my Bluesound Node 2i. It made the streamer sound like one costing 5 times as much, in my opinion. I bought the internal board upgrade from PD Creative and he suggested I purchase this power supply and I'm very happy with my purchase. it sounds awesome! highly recommended”

“Have a Volare tt, with a HRS/Mofi Superheavyweight Champion record weight, the Derenville Platter Mat and Isoacoustics Orea Indigo footers. Since purchase of my tt back in October 2021, I always thought of purchasing the linear power supply for the Volare, since I wanted to know how much 'more' of an improvement can the linear power supply provide. As for which linear power supply ... that was the question. I knew since the beginning that there was Feickert's own at $895 US, or the sBooster (available from Upscale Audio at $419 for the 24v/1.1 A). Sean-Paul from Upscale Audio had told me back then that Feickert's case was metal, while the sBooster case was plastic. Now that I decided to get the power supply a few weeks ago, I emailed him back to ask what he would recommend... his reply back (which I don't know if intentional or felt it would be up to me since they do have a money-back guarantee coverage) of being 'neutral' and to say 'they both were in stock'. Ok, ok Sean-Paul... I hear you, I hear you... Well, I decided on the sBooster and received it a couple of weeks ago. It came with the free 90 degree adapter for the Volare tt (which gave it another 5 inches approximate length) which you had to indicate on the order form. Right off the bat, I could hear a noticeable improvement. Sounding better and better over the past few days with deepER and tightER bass, yes more 'air'/'dimensionality', more 'it sounds right' like with voice, piano, trombone, trumpet, etc. An example is Air Supply's 'One Night Only/30th Anniversary' lp (of 2004/the one with the pink colored vinyl lp) which before without the linear power supply sounded dead/boring and I thought a 'waste of my money'. But with the power supply in the system, it brought life/'vitality' into the performance ! So yes, I would encourage those of you 'on the fence' as to whether to get a linear power supply to do so... I am pleased with the sBooster enough that the Feickert's metal case was not a necessity. As the product was narrow but depth being longer, I was able to fit it on the same rack with my Eastern Electric Minimax preamp with extra space available. It IS a 'must' buy option !”

“Well built, solid upgrade to the original power supply that came with my Chord Qutest. I'm always a bit wary of bold statements and big promises, but the Sbooster substantially lowered the noise and brought a bit more definition to an already great device.”

“Using Sbooster 5-6v to power Arcam rDoc Uni. Streaming iPad Mini6 USB > rDoc Uni SPDIF > Audio Note Kits DAC 4.1 > Audio Note Kits Preamp L5.1 > Prima Luna Dialog Premium HP Monos > Apogee Duetta Signature speakers. With Sbooster power music seemed to have more clarity and energy and soundstage was on a larger scale. I thought the sBooster made a nice improvement in the listening experience.”

“I'm new to streaming music. I added this Sbooster to a Bluesound Node streamer using an aftermarket motherboard. There was a noticeable increase in sound quality, so much so that I will probably hold off on buying a Lumin or Auralic streamer for now. Quick shipping from Upscale Audio.”
