Not withstanding M3Rocket's comment, the Squeezebox smps wall-wart is rated at 2Amps (10VA), but the CPC 1.5Amp (7.5VA) linear supply works well with the three players I know of. In comparison with the 1Amp (5VA) Power Pax, the size and weight of the CPC unit is substantial, and it's too large and heavy to use as a wall-wart if it had been constructed like that. This suggests to me that the Power Pax transformer may be a tad undersized and working at the limits of its spec, if needs to supply 1Amp continuously to the player(?)"
With regards to the Powermax model, wouldn't the next model up part no: PAR-0530 from http://www.powerpax.co.uk/ac_dc.htm be sufficient? It has output voltage of 5v and ampage is 300 (mA). SB3 would only take what it needs, that is my understanding. Does anyone think this is advisable? I'm UK based and I am contemplating between this one and the CPC\Farnell model http://tinyurl.com/btdhh to upgrade my SB3 psu. This powerpax seems to be a Linear PSU, but there isn't 100% confirmation whether the CPC\Farnell one is Linear. If it is, then which one would be more suitable. Any ideas anyone? -- dwsomers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwsomers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3528 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
