Product Description
NuForce proudly introduces a series of linear power supplies that more than meet the needs of the most discriminating audio enthusiasts. Whether for desktop applications or main-system use, the LPS Series delivers crystal-clear low-noise power for devices requiring 15 volts DC at 4 amps or less.
Designed for use with NuForce products such as the Icon HDP Desktop DAC/Preamp and CDP-8 Compact Disk Player, an LPS is likely to improve the performance of any audio device requiring up to 4 amps of DC current, particularly with respect to detail and transparency.
The LPS line-up starts with the LPS-1, which features a single 15V/4A output for users requiring power for only one device. The LPS-1’s highly regulated delivery system operates by way of a large, proprietary transformer, high-energy storage capacitors and high-speed regulator circuit.
The LPS-1U-96K features a high-quality USB to S/PDIF converter circuit operating at a data-transfer rate of up to 96kHz. Note that the S/PDIF signal is transformer-coupled in order to eliminate the possibility of ground-loop-based noise, which is notoriously difficult or even impossible to deal with by other methods. An LPS-1U-96K spares the user from hours of wasted time in tracking down elusive gremlins. Equally as important, an LPS-1U-96K improves a sound system’s performance characteristics.
Finally, for computer-based music systems, NuForce offers the LPS-1U-192K. Sharing the same features as those of the LPS-1U-96K, this unit ups the ante with a USB data-transfer rate of up to 192kHz. Fans of high-resolution recordings will appreciate the LPS-1U-192K’s significantly lower noise floor as the rock-solid foundation of quality sound systems.

I've owned a Nuforce Icon-2 for about a year and have loved it, but have also been itching to upgrade the power supply. So, I sprung for the LPS-1. Boy was I in for an awesome realization! Hooked up the LPS-1, the Icon-2 now breathed new life into my speakers. Music was now more dynamic and full bodied, also more transparent. Seemed to drop the noise floor way down, as if the music is now coming out of nowhere! Best upgrade I've done in a long time.
