Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?

I mean...by improving its components, not with a YOUR preferred streamer brand...;-)
Sure, you can upgrade the C-7 power cord. We all get that.

But, what about the power supply.
I only see 3 options:

1. Fidelity in UK
2. Some dude in Poland selling on eBay
3. Rumors of Teddy Pardo making one for the Node 2i.

It has to be DIY for the first two and not really what I'm looking to do with my streamer - I mean, if i'm going to to a DIY LPS upgrade, I'd like it to be easier to buy.

Anybody know anything or actually made it work?

I also have a Bluesound 2i with PD Creative and Sbooster 
via digital coax on my Michi x3 - the difference was very significant, to my sensation far above the "Cambridge Audio CXN (V2)" I tried in parallel, only slightly below the Naim Audio ND5 XS 2. May of course also be due to the Michi DAC.

I am the OP on this thread.

I have a Teddy Pardo 5v LPS (for my new BS Node N130) coming in a week.

Will be curious to report results.

Anything to report regarding the T. Pardo LPS?

Installed the Teddy Pardo LPS to my Bluesound Node (2021) last week.

install was smooth but not quite like the pics on TP web site. They miss a few things.

very happy with result. What is delivered is simple: fuller, darker, juicier sound.

well worth it. I use the Node as “transport only” as I have a Pontus II DAC and since I had the TP 5v already with a Chord Qutest, i only had to buy the kit and cable for $100. No brainer.
