Move router far from hifi components?

Good point steakster, I have to try. Any recommendations?

Dave, Paul Haynes is still making ps, he moved production back to his Scottish island base, so I understand.

Uptone is limited power and only 5 to 9 v. You can run them in series to get 12v.
Sbooster is good value. Made in the Netherlands and retails for £250 in the UK. King Rex is £350. Uptone £450. I believe the Paul Haynes ps are around £600. Does it get better the more you spend, this is what I'm trying to find out.

Steakster, thanks. I have also found improvements with a better ps to the hub. Currently this is by Sbooster a Dutch company. Also works well with the Lumin D1 player.

As regards something even more exotic, I have been in touch with Paul Heynes and he has confirmed he is still making power supplies. He sent me a long list of various types and options, prices ranging from about £300 to £1800. The more expensive options include silver wiring and dual rails for better SQ. I have heard good things about Paul's power supplies.

Thanks Dave.

kalali, every dc power supply I have tried sounds different. So make sure the voltage and power rating is correct for the unit and then listen. I have tried three different supplies to the Lumin D1 player, the Sbooster was the best out of those three (12v supply). That's not to say that is the best because I haven't tried the Uptone LPS1 or Paul Haynes power supplies yet.

With regard to the Aqvox switch it comes with a wall mart type ps which Aqvox say has been optimised for the job. However, I'm finding a sound quality improvement with an alternative ( and more expensive) King Rex ps (5v). I am going to test the Uptone next week. There is currently a thread devoted to this switch on Devialet Chat but perhaps I should start one here? An Aqvox customer in Spain has tested the switch with the very expensive Kenneth Lieu ps, which according to his view improved dynamics but he found the standard ps to have a better and more natural balance (discussion over on Audio Shark).

I am currently using a 12v Sbooster to the IP hub, which has again improved SQ. 

A number of people say that Paul Haynes makes some of the best dc power supplies.

If you are using cable then shorter is definitely better. Power supply to the hub (router/modem) makes a difference. Try using a higher grade switch as well and again use a better power supply to that switch. AQVOX make a dedicated audio switch which improves SQ.

There is quite a choice of better dc power supplies on the market a number of which I am currently testing. Sbooster, King Rex, MCRU, Uptone, HDplex, Paul Haynes, Kennith Lieu, Fidelizer are some of the brands.
