Is anybody using one of these? If so what do you think of it?

l have, and am still using two ifi psu, never had a issue with reliability, they sound better than standard cheap wall warts psu, however not as good as the chineese Low Noise PSU you can obtain.l use these for running hard drives.
l had a ifi Stream for a week, it sounded great when it was working, but the interface software was so buggy l couldn't live with it, it was just switch itself off! Unfortunately the products are well designed, however they don't have any employees to adjust software fixes, and this is where most of there streaming products fail.

Iffy as a name is better than Schiit.

I had already bought the Zen V2 when I made the OP and was running it in. I am very impressed with it for £135. I bought a 4.4mm 5 pole plug to wire up and listen to the balanced output. Both single ended and balanced sound excellent. You get more volume with the balanced out and they recommend you add a power supply. I have lots of low noise adjustable DIY PSs and have adjusted one for 5v and am using this.
