Antipodes S60 LPS

Are there any Audiogon members that have the Antipodes S60 LPS? Have you directly compared it to any other LPS?

mitch2 Thanks for the feedback. So I sold my CX and bought the S30 and love it

I was going to just buy a S60 power supply. I’m using Uptone JS-2 and it sounds great.

So is the S40 a lot better for using as a server?
 The S30 seems great but if the S40 is that much better maybe I should sell my S30 and get a S40 and use with my JS-2 and wait in S60? 
What do you think? Is S40 that much better then my S30?

@fsmithjack - I suggest calling Antipodes that has been responsive and helpful to me and others. I have not owned or heard the S30 or S40 so I don’t want to try and answer without direct knowledge.
I looked hard at the K40, which offers their highest level of performance when used as a server from the Ethernet output. My next choice would have been the K30 about which Mark Cole (from Antipodes) had this to say...
"The K30 would offer a significant upgrade on the DX, I know this as I personally own both"
Instead, I decided to give Mojo Audio’s Deja Vu EVO Media Server a try. Mojo has been upgrading (Mac mini servers) and building servers for over 10 years and they spend a lot of energy optimizing the power supplies. I am currently enjoying their Mystique EVO B4B 21 D/A Converter and by using their server a simple USB connection would give me the highest level of performance. I have second thoughts about not moving forward with Antipodes, which has been an excellent company to work with from the quality of their products, to their communication and support, to their upgrade program, which I used twice on my DX3 server. Good luck, whichever direction you take.

Has anyone gone from the Antipodes K30 to the K50?  If so, please describe the differences.
