Lowrider what LPS did you go with?  Very curious!

You are correct, an LPS does improve its performance. That said, the tests also show that the Gustard U12 performs better natively, and about the same with the LPS added for the iFi.

^^^^ You selectively left out an important part of the review regarding the comparison with and without an LPS:
"I should note that these are not audible problems as the levels are quite low. Just lack of good engineering and system design."

Nonetheless, still curious to know which LPS gave "astonishing" difference in the sound quality.

Sorry, I didn't see your questions until the @ notification was used.

I'm using a Swagman Labs Signature LPS, recommend by a couple of members. $280 for all premium parts built to order and a major upgrade in sound. I had good contact with them throughout the order and delivery process.

The iFi takes 5 volts. If it was mistakenly fed 12 volts, would it likely blow?

I agree with the comments about the iFi needing a better LPS. I had an old Core Audio Technology Kora around and that helped a lot, but a Paul Hynes SR4 is even better.
