Taking advantage of electricity - For seriously good sound
A well-designed power supply is the foundation of good sound. And what is good for sound quality are linear power supplies, with their greater, high-quality and stable voltage output, smaller ripple, and lower noise. The PL50, being a high-quality linear power supply, brings to your sound a lower noise floor, more refined dynamics and transients, and a more accurate, warmer tone to lower frequencies.
Compared to switching power supplies, the noise of linear power supplies is mainly low and fixed in frequency, which human ears are relatively insensitive to. In contrast, switching power supply noise is higher in frequency and can easily interfere with the analog portion of audio circuits due to radiation, directly impacting the output sound. Switching power supply noise can even indirectly affect the digital portion of audio circuits, further affecting sound quality.
Since the low-frequency noise of linear power supplies is fixed in frequency, this noise can be better and more accurately filtered out.
In addition, the large PL50 is also equipped with a filter circuit on the AC end, for filtering out interference generated by other electrical devices being used on the same AC circuit for even cleaner and more stable power.
Based on excellent materials - For outstanding quality - Custom high-quality transformer
Toroidal transformers by their very nature have numerous advantages, allowing them to be very efficient. This is due to the coils in the transformer not having a set angle at which they are bent, leading to a more uniform magnetic field and less magnetic flux leakage.
Inside the PL50 is a custom 50VA audiophile-grade toroidal transformer, made of high-quality Nippon Steel iron and high-purity oxygen-free copper wires for higher efficiency, higher precision, more stable voltage, and for higher energy output.
Fully optimized, solid parts
High-quality parts were chosen for every part of the design for higher and more reliable performance - such as the Shindengen bridge rectifier, TI voltage regulator, and Nippon Chemi-Con and Rubycon capacitors.
Completely considered design - High-quality in operation
The PL50 features a complex circuit design that has been fully thought through to ensure reliable operation. EMI filtering, transformer rectification, voltage regulation sampling, and multi-stage filtering are all parts of the circuit design so that you can use the PL50 without worry.
Dual voltage outputs - One unit for multiple uses
The PL50 supports both 12V and 15V outputs, allowing it to match the voltage requirements of various FiiO devices.
Metal construction - Continuing the FiiO design language
As with other products employing FiiO's industrial design, the outer shell of the PL50 is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy, which not only gives the unit a more refined texture, but also effectively shields the internals from external noise and interference.
Comparisons Between - Old and New Versions
The old and new versions of the PL50 have exactly the same functions and configurations. The main differences are the appearance design.
Safety certified - Assured reliability
This power supply has been designed and manufactured according to strict safety standards, and has obtained various international safety certifications - allowing you to be reassured of its reliability.

As an international traveller you are entitled to bring a certain amount/value of goods that are free of Customs duty and exempt Goods and Services tax (GST) into New Zealand. This is called your duty free allowance and personal goods concession. It is important to review these for any purchases you make on The Mall.
Your duty free allowance entitles you to bring into New Zealand the following quantities of alcohol products free of customs duty and GST provided you are over 17 years of age. You do need to be 18 years or over to purchase.
- Up to six bottles (4.5 litres) of wine, champagne, port or sherry or
- Up to twelve cans (4.5 litres) of beer
- And three bottles (or other containers) each containing not more than 1125ml of spirits, liqueur, or other spirituous beverages
Goods other than alcohol and tobacco, whether purchased overseas or purchased duty free in New Zealand, that have a combined total value not exceeding NZ$700 may also be brought as part of your personal goods concession.
When travelling overseas there are legal limits on the amount of duty free alcohol and other goods you can take with you. These amounts will vary depending on the country you are flying into. We always recommend you check the latest limits and exemptions.
Your order can be picked up at an Auckland Airport Collection Point. There is one in departures and one at arrivals in the international terminal. Alternatively, if you are arriving between 11pm and 6am you will be able to collect your order from our lockers. See map
Please bring your order confirmation email and your passport. If you are collecting from lockers you will have been sent an email with your access code, be sure to have this on you in order to collect your order.
If you’re departing Auckland Airport, we recommend that you come to the Auckland Airport Collection Point at least 60 minutes before your flight. If you miss your pickup time or your flight details have changed please let us know as soon as possible.
When you collect your order you will have the opportunity to inspect the items and sign for them.
If you need to return an item, our Collection Point team are there to help you. If you are collecting after hours please return the item to your locker and our team will be in touch as soon as possible. You may also like to view our Returns & refunds which provides information on how this works and outlines the individual retailer's returns and refunds policies.
After Hours Collections
If your order needs to be collected after the Auckland Airport Collection Point desk is closed, your order will be placed in the lockers next to the desk. All the details you will need to collect your order will be provided in your Order Confirmation and Ready to Collect Email.
