Roon Power Supply

Jazzman,Bill and David.  I looked at all and chose the Farad. Looks like quality component. Many thanks for your recommendations.

bill_k. David_ten.  As a  vinyl guy I'm taking baby steps with streaming. Presently I have the Roon streaming to a red Dragon Fly with 2.5mm plug and splitter  to RCA into Pass Labs XP30 3 box preamplifier to Pass Labs Monoblocks into Klipsch LaScala.  I have a Tidal $20 per month account.  Undecided on DAC and whether or not I will require it to have  Roon and MQA . Hard to find a Room, MQA DAC that doesn't have headphone amp, preamplifier, line stage or other circuits I neither need nor want. Appreciate any recommendations on DAC. Once I decide on a DAC, I will seek everyones advice on cabling.  Thanks everyone for the help.  Oh, I opted for the upgraded receptacle but not the fuse.

Jaytor. Isn't that essentially what I am doing now by running the Roon to Dragon Fly red into my preamp?  I thought I could connect the Roon Nucleus vis USB to a DAC that has a USB input? And then balanced connections to my preamp. I obviously have a lot to learn. Would someone give me examples of a standalone Roon Endpoint; audio device that offers Roon Endpoint/Rendering.  I have been looking at audio note (ANK) tube DACs that have USB input but got cold feet when they wouldn't disclose the units specifications. 

jaytor. That is the best explanation I ever seen written.  Thanks for taking the time to explain.

fundsgon--I am new to streaming. Audiophile wannabe since mid 1970s. Experienced 8-track, vinyl, cassette tape, reel-to-reel, compact disc. Nothing has been more fun than streaming. To select any song by any artist in any genre from anywhere in the world at any time for a mere $20 a month is nothing short of revolutionary. My Roon Nucleus and Dragon Fly Red DAC cost less than $1800. It does not rival my $20,000 SME vinyl rig. But what I hear with this modest entry tells me that it can. And I plan to explore all the glorious options.  My wife and I have so much fun selecting an artist and playing every song by that artist--without having to flip a record every 20 minutes.  No hiss, no pops, just hi fidelity music. And yes. It is a wonderful way to find that Album I want to invest in and own. Don't miss out.  You will enjoy the journey.
