This is the LPS that I referred to, AUD900 and it drives 2 devices.

A barebones Pi 5 is more than AUD120, without case, hats etc.  The Mercury V2 Streamer (CM4) is about AUD1400 landed (out of stock at moment, no price).

For me, a good LPS is an essential part of a streamer. I have been using Gieseler LPS for many years (and own several!) and believe they are good value.  However, if you use the Pi5 as the  baseline, then just about every decent LPS will be too expensive. You could end up missing out a major SQ improvements?

So, not 10x. I'm a PSU believer, believe me. I'm still waiting for my custom PSU for my main system, over a year on, but that's another story. I had the power supplies upgraded in my power amps etc etc. 

I guess I was pondering how much, ultimately, my PSU habit might cost  Big Grin
