STREAM1 - SMPS vs LPS1

[TBiocic]

As the proud owner of streamer/server Stream1 just want to find out some experiences with LPS1 upgrade. Is it justified to do that upgrade? What are the sound quality gaines? Is initial SMPS so bad that you have to do upgrade?

They're using a PulseMini, but you get the idea and you'll get more benefit from it too over the PulseMini too

Two weeks in with the LPS1 on my PULSEmini and it’s really opened up. Lower noise floor, more detail, and music shines in all its glory. A real treat across every musical genre I listen to. Truly a great investment.

I have the opportunity to have the Stream1 and LPS1 on home trial. in my setup. To my ears, the difference between with and without LPS1 is clear and immediate. I don’t think is a case if SMPS being being bad, more of LPS1 being better.
