    The $50 iFI DC iPurifier is a big disappointment.

    It will not work with two Rega turntables, powered by 24V wal warts, (it is spec'd up to 24V) and it fried the wal wart
    that came with the Schiit Mani.

    Total POS.

    Sorry that happened. I've had good luck with the digital purifiers.

    I actually reallu like the USB version. But there is clearly a compatibility issue here and
    iFi really needs reign in their marketing.

    The Schiit Mani uses a 16V AC wall wart. It is not DC.
    The Schiit Modi 2 Uber and the Modi Multibit also use a 16V AC adapter.
    Some of the other Schiit components also use an AC adapter rather than DC.

    I think all of the Schiit gear that have wall warts have AC wall warts. I wish AC wall warts had standardized on something other than a barrel connector. It's easy to confuse wall wart wires when wiring things up. And confusing an AC with DC (or DC with AC) is going to be bad news. I'm always worried when wiring up components that have wall warts that I'll accidentally plug the wrong wall wart into the wrong component and possibly fry something. I hate that. It's bad interface design.

    I think wall warts are bad design. Full stop.
