Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power.


Feed back on those who Gone DC to power the Audio component's. As there's a number of AC/DC

power converters on the market place. BUT! SOME REALLY DON'T MEET a true Audiophile sonic bench mark.

Look forward to those who  HAVE gone DC.

   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..

Is a crimp on banana plug adequate for making a suitable cord, or is soldering necessary??


That Astron unit looked interesting, but I couldn't accommodate the size in my cabinet.
I ordered an sOTM sPS-500 power supply, when it arrives and I've broken it in, will report back.
I have the "original" Brooklyn DAC and when I'm streaming thru it for an hour or so it gets really hot.  I hope the PS improves the sound quality and reduces the heat.
agreed on all the comments regarding the Astron power supplies.  they are very good - replaced a Hynes unit in my system.

@erik_squires Not sure if you're aware of this, but the voltage can be adjusted on other Astron LPSU's rather easily...

Certainly not as convenient as rotating a knob on the face, but fairly straightforward if you've got a screwdriver and voltmeter.
