iFi SilentPower iPower Elite - Low Noise Power Supply
The iFi Audio iPower Elite (SilentPower) is a premium, ultra-low-noise DC power supply built to replace the generic “noisy” adapters that often hold back streamers, DACs, headphone amps, routers, and other DC-powered components. Designed to deliver smooth, silent power that mimics the benefits of a battery (without charging, swapping, or downtime), iPower Elite helps reduce electrical noise (including EMI/RFI) at the source—supporting cleaner signal transfer and more stable system performance.
With Active Noise Cancellation II, enlarged capacitance for energy storage, and a high-performance adaptive controller engineered for efficiency and low audio noise, iPower Elite is made for high-resolution setups where power quality matters. Choose the right version for your gear with 5V / 12V / 15V / 24V output options, all housed in a rigid full unibody aluminum chassis with a built-in heatsink for robust, reliable operation.
What It's Good At:
-
Lowering noise at the source (including EMI/RFI) for a cleaner, quieter system backdrop
-
Improving stability for sensitive audio gear like streamers, DACs, and amplifiers
-
Delivering battery-like cleanliness without the hassle of battery charging or replacement
-
Supporting bit-perfect audio data transfer by reducing electrical interference into the DAC chain
-
Powering a wide range of DC devices with multiple voltage options (5V/12V/15V/24V)
-
Premium build for serious systems with a unibody aluminum chassis and integrated heatsink

iFi SilentPower iPower Elite Q&A:
- What does the iPower Elite improve compared to a standard power adapter?
- It’s designed to dramatically reduce electrical noise (including EMI/RFI) and deliver more stable, cleaner DC power than typical “generic” switching adapters, helping sensitive audio/video gear perform at its best.
- Which devices can I use the iPower Elite with?
- It works with virtually any DC-powered device that matches the required voltage and uses a 5.5 x 2.1mm center-positive connector (common for streamers, DACs, amps, and other components).
- What voltage options are available?
- iPower Elite is offered in 5V, 12V, 15V, and 24V versions—choose the one that matches your device’s required DC input.
- What is Active Noise Cancellation II and why does it matter?
- It’s iFi’s noise-reduction circuitry that removes electrical noise at the source (including EMI/RFI), helping keep your system cleaner and supporting accurate audio data transfer.
- How quiet is the iPower Elite?
- It’s specified with an ultra-low ~1uV noise floor, engineered with specialized circuitry and selected components to keep power exceptionally quiet.
- How do I set it up?
- Simply plug the iPower Elite into your device’s power input to provide ultra-low noise, stable power for enhanced performance.
- Does it include cooling or thermal management?
- Yes—its full unibody aluminum chassis includes a built-in heatsink for effective heat handling and long-term reliability.
- What comes in the box and what warranty is included?
- The box includes 1x iPower Elite and 1x user manual, and it comes with a 12-month warranty.
