Looking for a power supply has anyone tried one of these. Linear power supply for Lindemann Limetree MK1 Network Streamer | eBay
it’s a gamble. No specifications on ripple, noise or load regulation and no return policy.
I have 2 vague LPS, 1 is OK and 1 is terrible.
You might be better of with the Lineo5. It comes with a 30 day return policy, if not satisfied.
Problem is no stock and no idea when it will come.
Asked if Volumio knows when new stock is available.
I recently got a Rivo +. Rather than order the Lineo5, I got an LHY LPS50. It can be ordered in 5 volt configuration, and delivers over 6 amps. I have heard (no confirmation) that Volumio actually consulted with people at LHY in developing theres. No way of confirming that, but mine has been running beautifully with Rivo. What I noticed right away is more kick and solid punch to the low end. It’s actually still settling in at 30 hours of use. Just another option. Specs are on the website. The LHY products are well thought of, and they also produced an LPS upgrade for the Bluesound that a lot of people use. Good luck.

Thanks I will take a look
Vinshine has it in Singapore dollars but I ordered it from https://www.beatechnik.com/product-page/lps50va They have it priced at $298 USD and free shipping.
LINEO5 will be available in about a week. Together with RIVO+ they are literally flying from the shelves and we just can’t keep up… Working hard to ensure better availability from now on.
We did not consult with LHY to develop it.
Bear in mind: even if you see free shipping from overseas stores, consider that upon receiving it you might be required to pay additional custom duties (which depending on where you are, might ramp up to 20% of the product value). This does not happen with us, as we bear the custom duties on your behalf, so you will not have surprises and hidden costs.

Thanks I am just being impatient. I guess there are no retailers with stock in the UK.
Unfortunately no retailer in the UK at the moment…
You can subscribe to the notification to be the first to know when LINEO5 will be available:
Hope this alleviates your impatience at least a bit !
I use this one to feed my PI2AES this:
LHY Audio LT3042 Low Noise High Precision Linear Regulator 5V 2A DC Power Supply Powered USB from aliexpress.
Cheap, silent and very convenient.
I think I will use it when I purchase the Rivo Plus.
Your 1 amp short for the Rivo+ (5V/3A)
Oh, thanks, I did not realize it!!
“Did not consult with LHY”…thanks for clarifying that. I never assume anything I read on the forums is absolute truth, opinion, or rumor. Plenty of all to go around.
Just for the record: on overseas shipping, custom charges etc. My source for the power supply I mentioned charged exactly what they said they would on their website. No shipping fees, no custom charges, no extra costs. Not trying to sell anything here; I considered the Lineo5 as being designed specifically for the Rivo. I’m sure they are both great LPS’s…just wanted to give the op options, especially in the case of unavailability.
Guess my internet is different, unless you opt.for an illegal import.
I think it could be made well! I would use the following as a base: IAN CANADA LINEARPI PRO SOLO Module Alimentation Linéaire + toroidal transformer etc…
I had put the correct link in my earlier posting. Authorized dealer, $298.
There are more countries outside the US 
Thanks, I have ordered 1 from Elite Audio, I will get my Revo plus from them later this morning,
and the power supply later, this will give me time to get used to the sound before the supply arrives which will be interesting, now I am wondering the best way to connect the Revo to my Denafrips Pontus 2 via my Denafrips Iris I am currently using I2S to connect the DDC to the DAC not sure I am doing this right would welcome any suggestions. Thanks again.
