As a fallout of the recent conversation on https://www.hifivision.com/threads/eversolo-dmp-a6-vs-ifi-zen-stream.95855/ , got the Fioo PL50 as an impulse buy to power the Zen Stream. First impressions are encouraging indeed. Surprisingly, it also runs very cool to the touch.

The unit also feels robustly built and has a monochrome display on the front with the output voltage readout which is a pretty neat touch.

Thats one nicely and aesthetically treated room you have there

Thats one nice and keen eye you have there to spot one

What kind of cable are you using between the Fiio and the Zen?

The stock one that came with the Fioo - it fits.

Next, I'll be trying it out with the RME ADI-2 DAC FS though RME claims that there's no improvement to be had by using a linear PSU over the bundled unit.

Looks cool. Any reason to choose FiiO pl50 over topping p50.

Looks cool. Any reason to choose FiiO pl50 over topping p50.

Because the Fiio can output 12v and 15v and some of my devices can accept a max of 12V, and whereas I already have an Allo Shanti LPSU which can output 5v 3a, it filled the gap.

Plus, the user reviews were overwhelmingly positive enough to inspire confidence whereas I have seen a number of Topping P50s go on sale over the years

No. I meant to say unless you intend to do stereo listening, skip the A8.

Okkk

A nine channel (LCR x250 watts, surround x100w) O&B power amp. This amp is a beast, and often as people say, built like a tank! At a massive 52 Kgs, it took two of us to unpack and move it to my first floor.

Initial impressions: have used it just for a handful of hours in 2 channel mode, and the amp easily competes with my Parasound A21 (250Wx2).
For its build quality and power per rupee, I think its value is simply unbeatable.

Congrats Nagraj. I am sure the O&B must be great given Aniket's reputation. Very nice finish too.
