iFi iUSBPower
The iUSB's purpose is to purify the power supply in sensitive audio equipment (typically USB DACs), removing troublesome noise from the equation. It's design to work with any USB DAC, not just Ifi's own iDAC, but it can also be used in conjunction with the Ifi Gemini for even better results. The fact that these two items are bundled together shows that Ifi sees a benefit to this combination and they are not simply alternatives to the same problem.
The iUSB is a power purification device that can used with any USB DAC. It makes even more sense when used to power USB DACs that are combined with headphone amplifiers because that power goes on to directly amplify your sound. Further versatility can be achieved when combining this with the Ifi Gemini cable, which can be used at either end of the iUSB, but that's not to say this isn't a compelling product on it's own.
Compared to the Gemini I think that the iUSB provides an even stronger benefit in cleaning and improving audio in most cases, even if it's a bit more fiddly to add to some systems. For example: a USB powered DAC and headphone amplifier used with a laptop is very convenient (as it doesn't require any power cables), adding the iUSB to the equation destroys that simplicity somewhat. Being powered the iUSB is obviously reserve for desktop systems and that's no bad thing, it's actually nice that between this and the Gemini there are options for either scenario.
