SB3 – 5VDC 1amp- Acopian -B5G120DUET- 9VDC .5 amp- Acopian -B9G50These power supplies have screw terminals.You'll need an AC power cable and a DC cable and plug. Make sure you check the stock wall wart for the correct polarity on the DC plug.

Sorry, I thought Tvad was referring to the Duet remote with the SB3.Once again, IMO, the digital output of a stock Duet sounds better than a stock SB3. Also, IMO, the Bolder digital mods are a joke.If you want a linear PSU, here's the real deal:ht...

The best speaker you ever heard?
