iPower Elite Power Supply By iFi Audio

Transform Your HiFi with Clean, Silent Power

Upgrading a component’s power supply is often the most noticeable way to improve performance, and the iPower Elite from iFi Audio delivers a dramatic difference. Compact yet technologically advanced, it provides exceptionally clean and stable power to streamers, DACs, and amplifiers—unlocking the full potential of your audio system.

Powering Flagship Equipment

Many high-end devices ship with generic power supplies, which can introduce noise and limit performance. The iPower Elite replaces standard SMPS or linear supplies with battery-like silent power, free from the hum and ripple found in conventional units.

Advanced Noise Cancellation

Using Active Noise Cancellation II® technology, the iPower Elite actively neutralizes incoming electrical noise, similar to noise-canceling headphones. Low- and mid-frequency interference is canceled in real time, while passive filters handle higher frequencies, delivering cleaner power to your audio components and significantly improving signal fidelity.

Precision Engineering Inside

Housed in an aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, the iPower Elite incorporates advanced engineering features:

• 60 W adaptive multi-mode controller optimized for efficiency and noise-free operation
• Frequency-shuffling technology for superior EMI performance
• 400% increase in power supply capacitance for stability
• Oversized Power MOSFET and low-leakage transformer
• RF-optimized PCB for minimal interference

Elite design & specs

The iPower Elite has:

• <1uV noise floor
• Special circuit design for whisper-quiet noise floor using cherry-picked components
• Latest Active Noise Cancellation 2
• Full unibody Aluminum chassis with heat sink built-in

With the iPower Elite, your HiFi gear gets the power it deserves—quiet, stable, and performance-enhancing. Backed by a 45-day trial, it’s a risk-free way to elevate your listening experience.

Note: Includes a reverse polarity negative adapter (white), plus 4 additional types of adapters for various devices. Be sure to choose the correct voltage, 5, 12, 15, and 24 volts.

I can’t believe it really improved sound quality!
I’m not the type to buy anything and everything labeled “audiophile” but I’m open to trying things. Personally I prefer to not hear any improvement to save myself money. I definitely have returned items in the past. Recently I tried the iFi iPower X both in 12v and 15v. I did notice subtle difference, but the difference is so small that it could very well be just some sort of bias so I decided to return them.

Just before I returned the X version, the Elite version happen to come out so I decided to try it. I guess why not. Wow! Going back and forth between the Elite and standard adapter, the improvement in sound is very noticeable across the board with the Elite! I am not very fluent with audiophile lingo, but I’d say there’s better bass, cleaner sound, and micro details are more noticeable overall. Really hate to spend $300 on an adapter, but returning it would mean I will miss out on audio quality!

I have RME ADI-2 DAC FS (v2 with updated DAC chip).

Better than SBooster linear power supply!
I tested it against the 400 dollar mkii sBooster linear Power supply. It was cleaner faster and more transparent.

Audio upgrade for Chord Qutest DAC
Bought as upgrade for Chord Qutest DAC. The Qutest sounds terrific straight out of the box with the supplied switch mode power supply but this device is a huge improvement over the supplied PSU. Yes, it is expensive and a lot of people probably would scoff at spending that amount, but it certainly improves the clarity and soundstage of my Qutest in my system. I used a Russ Andrews SuperKord to connect the iFi Power Elite to the mains. I didn’t try it with a cheaper mains cable.
