IFI IUSB Power and Gemini Dual headed USB cable (0.75M) and power supply. Asking $195.This was more of a tool for me than anything else, sound was predictably good each time and was reliable, never let me down. Main purpose of use was with USB powered DACs, peripherals and Mac mini. Used it mostly with a Hecate USB interface. All I can say is "reliable", never failed and sounds very good too. No drivers needed for MAC and Linux simply plug and play never a hiccup. Shipping and fees not included in the price. "Enter iFi’s iUSBPower unit. Designed as part of a collaboration between iFi Micro and AMR (Abbingdon Music Research), this candybar brick sits between your computer and USB DAC or USB-S/SPDIF convertor. It doesn’t filter – it completely severs the power connection between your computer’s motherboard and USB device and then injects its own 5V feed. Digital audio data is allowed to travel freely. The iFi unit is powered by a 9V wall-wart from which it internally generates a 5V feed. This is passed out via two output ports – one for data + power, the other power only. Using the former combo USB port, I cabled my review unit between MacMini and various devices using the supplied (short, blue) USB cable between Mac and iFi and then a WireWorld Starlight took the data/power forwards to the USB DAC or convertor. Amplification and speakers were Peachtree Nova125 and Magnepan MMG." I can sell the Hecate For $140 in this package. (Singxer F-1 XMOS XU208)
