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..
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... http://www.repeater-builder.com/astron/voltage-adjust/voltage-adjust.html Certainly not as convenient as rotating a knob on the face, but fairly straightforward if you've got a screwdriver and voltmeter. |
