Best performance/price ratio ever
I recently purchased one of these beauties for a customer who is very sensitive to radiation of all sorts and looked for a noise-free replacement for the switching power supply that came with his Squeezebox Classic streamer.
First I went for the ubiquitous Teradak DC-30 but then found out that all sources to buy one are in China. Looked around some more and was amazed to find that there is a French company selling a similar PSU for even less! The ordering process was hassle-free and straightforward. Took less than a week to have it here.
Unfortunately I had only very little time to check it out, but I really like what I see.
I need to emphasize that I don't consider myself an audiophile, I am more focused on things that I can feel and measure. Therefore, I won't share any audition results and comparisons between this PSU and others regarding the sound quality. Sorry folks.

** Case **
The build quality is superb all over. Nice anodized aluminium case, thick front panel, the back panel is also aluminium, everything fits exactly, it's heavy and solid. Chunky IEC power connector, indicator LEDs on the front (white) and back (green). It's a beauty to behold.

** Inside **
Inside things go on like that. Heavy duty toroidal transformer, massively oversized, discrete rectification, four Nichicon electrolytic capacitors, 4700µF/40V each to reduce any ripple, very clean PCB layout. Not a single wire. No flux residue anywhere, it's just as clean as it could ever be.

** Measurements **
There is not much to say about the output. It's absolutely flat 5VDC with no ripple or distortion whatsoever. Even under load this won't change. I hooked up three Squeezebox Classic with a consumption of around 6 to 7 Watts each. Even though this is close to the maximum specified, the PSU had no trouble serving them all the cleanest power. The peak power drawn from the 230V supply was ~34W so it appears that the PSU will consume around 4W for itself per output used. Haven't had the time to play around with smaller loads but I assume this is in relation to the power demands of the consuming device.
Power factor is close to 0.9 which I consider good, not stellar but a lot better than the typical switching power supplies.
Power consumption is shown with 0.0 Watts on the HOPI meter when the PSU is on but nothing is connected! Wow!
The three outputs are joined together but there is so much power available at any time that the consuming devices won't affect each other. This might be different if one emits extreme amounts of distortion, but then such units are best isolated from others and not supplied on the same power rail. Not a fault of this device in any case.

** More Observations **
The unit produces a good amount of warmth so it should not be used in tight spaces with little air around. It's far from red hot though.
There is a fuse inside, protecting the primary side of the transformer. In case it is blown it's just a matter of lifting the top lid and putting in a new one. However, I would have preferred a more accessible place for the fuse, somewhere on the back panel.
The LEDs are just poking through their respective panel, they are not fixed so it's possible to push them in. All that holds them is their own two legs. Not a major concern though, considering the price this is a tiny compromise.
The USB ports don't have a lot of grabbing force. It is rather easy to pull out USB connectors. A bit more spring tension wouldn't hurt.
Although I ordered only a PSU, there was also a 5.5/2.1mm cable delivered along. Nice touch, guys, and very appreciated!

** Summary **
This is an amazing piece of kit, unexpectedly well-built considering the budget price. I think this little thing can compete with PSUs in the price range of 400 to 500 EUR. Much of that goes into the brand names, not the values inside. A lot of attention was paid here, and all pieces that count are well done.
I will recommend this unit, and Audiophonics overall, to anyone who is interested in enhancing their audio equipment and musical experience.

Just stunning! Incredible performance for the money

Excellents résultats audio
Je recherchai une alimentation 5v cc pour remplacer l’alimentation d’origine à découpage d’un streamer audio. Convaincu de l’amelioration apportée par une alimentation linéaire régulée et filtrée sur des équipements audio analogiques, s’agissant exclusivement d’un streamer donc de circuits numériques j’étais pour le moins dubitatif…
Dans un premier temps j’ai remplacé provisoirement mon alimentation à découpage d’origine (5v 5w) par le chargeur d’origine de la marque à la pomme de l’IPad 6 ( 5v 10w) , dispositif également à découpage et là déjà, l’écoute a très nettement gagnée en définition, dynamisme, présence des basses et réalisme des médiums.
J’ai donc décidé d’acquérir sur les conseils avisés du service clients d’Audiophonics, cette alimentation 5V 25VA filtrée et régulée…
Une fois installée, là encore une étape a été franchie par rapport au chargeur de l’IPad 6, à savoir:
- Basses nettement plus profondes et mieux définies,
-Médiums et hauts médiums plus présents, plus détaillés et timbres plus justes
-Aiguës légèrement accrus et détaillés sans aucune agressivité
-Transparence, aération, dynamique, analyse , équilibre des registres, ouverture de la scène sonore nettement améliorées .
En un mot c’est comme s’il ne restait plus que la musique et non plus du son…
Résultat tout à fait similaire à une montée significative en gamme des équipements voire à passer sur un ampli à tubes ou de classe A.
Écoute réalisée à partir d’un streamer moyenne gamme, d’un DAC et d’ un ampli hi-fi de qualité audiophile et d’enceintes 3 voies d’un constructeur Brestois …liaison streamer -DAC via fibre optique en verre véritable et liaison Dac-ampli par l’intermédiaire d’un câble RCA, d’une société Américaine , de qualité réputé pour son équilibre général .
En conclusion : une bonne alimentation permet également d’améliorer la restitution d’un appareil numérique ( je suppose qu’il en est certainement de même pour des équipements vidéo ?)
L’investissement nécessaire reste relativement modique par rapport aux gains obtenus
N’hésitez pas à questionner Audiophoniques car leurs réponses sont pertinentes et très rapides .
Dernier point, matériel reçu rapidement et très bien emballé
Produit bien conçu, bien construit et de qualité .
Je recommande ce produit ainsi que la société Audiophonics.
Bonne écoute à tous

Good quality linear power supply
I had ordered this linear power supply 5V 2A for powering a WiiM pro streamer. I replaced the original charger with this power supply. Very good quality I can say that the streamer is sounding very good and detailed. After a month of using I recommend this product. Delivery was a big surprise, I got the package in RO in 48 hours after ordering !

Élément trop négligé
Ce LPSU25 alimente mon dac smsl sanskrit mkll et mon lecteur réseau nuprime omnia, résultat une meilleure définition, de tout le spectre ….
Merci à Audiophonics de nous proposer de tel matériel ☺️ à ce tarif.
