CI Audio or King Rex PSU for Squeezebox Touch


Hi

Does anyone using a Squeezebox Touch have any experience with either a CI Audio VDC 5 MKII and/or King Rex PSU Mkii replacing the stock switching supply?

I wish to buy either unit soon and am wondering if anyone has compared them.

Thanks

Hi, I have no experience with the Channel Islands PSU, but I did own the King Rex a few years ago. I can report that the King Rex was an awesome little box. Superbly engineered and it sounded great with my former King Rex USB to SPDIF converter. Very stout and solidly built. I would say you can not go wrong with that unit.

Hope that helps.
Perhaps I misunderstood. I never had th Touch, I was commenting on the PSU itself and as used with the Kingrex USB to SPDIF converter where it made quite a difference for the better over the stock wall wart.

It is a heavy little fella, with a toroid and regulated output. You can't go wrong; also KingRex strikes me as a company that really cares about sound and its' customers (I dealt with the Taiwan HQ direct).
