Linear Power supply for a Weiss dac 204?


Looking for a power supply for a Weiss dac 204. I was looking at he Plixir or Teddy Pardo. which do guys think in this price range? Is it worth it too? Seems like everything I read is positive when adding a LPS.

A LPS is a huge step-up from the standard issue supplied cheap POS build wall-wart PS, and a significant step-up to an upgraded external switch model PS.

By adding  an external quality build LPS to yiur gear , including inter alia to your dac, AND your network switch; is a big step-up in audio performance.

BUT ,,,.don’t ignore an upgrade to your CAT7 Ethernet cables to quality build ones if you want to maximize the full audio performance quotient .


there are many options to check out .

Here’s two that worked for me .

Simple …it’s not a complex or daunting choice procedure :Externsl .LPS in audio come in a wide myriad different voltage spec models because the audio gear OEMs all have different boards ,

(1);you need to identify the specs/voltage required (either see your device manual or match the specs printed on the cheap wall wart supplied )

(2) send these specs and maybe a picture to the LPS supplier and ask them for quote and to verify specs match you provide );

Why I chose MCRU or SGC….

Basic common sense approach: a farm superior parts and build at a favourable pricepoint,

” Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”- Warren Buffett

You can always blindly spend more maybe …ok ….. but do the smart thing first and check out what is actually under the hood before you buy.

Mine are custom made quality built LPS built for me at my needed specs m with a far superior parts versus the made in China junk units , the ones being flogged on YouTube reviews.with distinct comparatively crap cheap-as-you-can-find parts, along with a dodgy assembly build .

TAKEAWAY: for any quality build external LPS …..

there is no universal magic silver bullet LPS made solely as a random off the shelf LPS available for a specific brand or model audio component …. Instead they are all a tailored LPS to your requisite specs .EZPZ,

does your OEM dac company have one they push ? 

choose wisely
