BT full Fibre v Ee Full Fibre power supply

I have BT full Fibre Halo 3 I run it off an independent power supply the iFi elite 2.  I am now at the end of my contract with Halo 3. I looking at the Ee full Fibre alternative but struggling to find out the barrel size of the power supply.  I listen to a lot of music and believe (I know some dont) that the quality of the electrical signal impacts the final listen qualities. I have spent a considerable amount on streamers dac and other hi fi component's and need to find exactly which power supply fit it is so I can use the ifi power supply.

Anyone that can help please, it would be greatly appreciated.

@Enoferry1 If you are looking at the EE Smarthub+ range of EE Routers, then the barrel connector is 3.5mm x 1.35mm and the psu is 12V D.C. Centre positive, current rated i believe at 2.5Amps.If you are moving from BT to EE and you already have the BT Smarthub2 as your router then you may be informed that you are keeping that one and NOT getting the EE. The BT  Smarthub2 if you have it covered already but it has a barrel size of 5.5mm x 2.1mm and again 12Vd.c centre positive current rating that i do not know but will be similar or slightly lower than the EE unit!

Hi @Enoferry1 

Thanks to @JimM11  for the comments on the power but yes I am someone who would says the quality of the download is not dependent or subject to interference from the power supply but rather subject to the quality of the internet connection and server you are connected. This is why 128k ISDN was used for media back in the day because the connection was consistent.  There is also the buffer size and device you are listening on and wifi.

If I was you I would invest in a good third party router over those offered by EE.

Thanks
