Chord Dave and lInear power supply


I had been using Chord Dave and Mscaler for 3 years.

 

I installed linear power supply by Farad which cost me around 3k Euros including three separate power supplies.

 

 

Wow it is worth every penny.

 

I get more clear separation of each instrument with more tuneful bass.

 

Also slight sibilance is  gone.

 

It is Dave +. after modification.

 

If you own Dave, you had better try it.

 

The installation is rather handy.

 

You need to follow instruction.

I've had similar results buying a low noise LPS for my tiny tripath high-pass amplifier (in a tri-amped system). Much more natural, less grainy, less hash.

More surprising, swapping the iFi audio low noise wall-wart PSU that came with my iFi PDIF iPurifier 2 with a 30$ low noise 5V LPS from aliExpress also gave great improvement, which I didn't expect: more natural, again, less "stringent" upper treble, more depth.
