I got 2 of these ifi iPower 5v/2.5A, they are obviously aimed at the a'phool types as there is gold writing on the sticker. The first powers an RPi 2B complete with a 7" Touch screen, KALI reclocker and MamboBerry DAC and works fine. The second one is connected to a similar config however the dac is an Allo Piano, the cheaper one with the headphone amp. Now this one displays the little multicoloured square in the top right hand corner of the screen that indicates low voltage or not enough current. Swapping to an Allo Power Supply (https://www.allo.com/sparky/power-supply.html#features) disappears the little multicoloured square. Buggered if I can hear any difference. The Piano DAC must draw a couple more squilliamps than the MamboBerry.
