Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power.

erik_squires

  This was my reason for starting this tread to DC power  FOR my new

Mytek Brooklyn.  DC 12v power is favored so long as it's super clean and

doesn't ad ripple waves or transformer hum if it's that type.

I.e Not switching AC TO DC.

I have read several reviews on PS from England recommended

by Mytek. Suggests  Mim 5 to 6 amps 250 to 400 watts of ready reserve

power. The Astron!  Isn't more for Ind or gaming applications, rather

than super quiet very low noise floor for extreme EARS?

What highend $$ AC/DC brand names did you audition that didn't

meet your SONIC demands over the AstronS12a??

p.s. how many watts dose it putout.

Feeding the MYTEK Brooklyn Dac 12V DC  needs up to 3>to5 Amps

to get Max Dynamic/ transit attacks responses. "Their Tech guy said to me". 

Hmm!  22 gauge fine Ox free copper stranded may not do it.

Golden spec high Audio gear doesn’t guarantee Golden Ear

performance. As I’ve found out over the year’s.

You have tried HDPLEX 100 which I was going audition. Only they coming out with highly upgrade sonically HDPLEX 200/200 watt output

$490 bucks first of August according to Larry their national Rep.

Thanks your insight on the Mytek Dac current draw. Very interesting

4 sure.

      I know mention trying other high PS. But" I would really like to

know what brand" . Why! several makers will send you one to

audition. Your feed back will save me the effort on those brands

as with any VERY GOOD PS to 12V DC their noise floor and

their EMI/IM + very low ripple is what is important with a very good audio system, of course you already know.

p.s. What sonic improvements did the Astron RS12A have over the

Mytek internal 12VPS that was most noticeable to your ear.

Bass, Mid, Highs, transits, Depth of sound stage etc.?

   Many thanks for your very in-depth report on your personal findings.

I.e. on the wire size= many+++'s. Audioquest 12V DC cable uses much larger wire gauge. Which now makes me think about how much research on wire size they REALLY did..

I started this tread last year. I tried several High end so called Audiophile grade against the Astron rs12A. Its been suppling

13-V DC for a year. I adjusted back to 12-V per Mytek specs’

Lost a little slam in the bass and some overall dynamics "some"

If 13v doesn’t fry it before its out of warranty so BE IT!!

If it dose I’ll just another and run it @ 13-V.
