When I got my Elpac, it would not run the SB2. Plugged it in, no display or sound. I measured the voltage, and got very similar to what you did (4.4V). Being the dedicated tinkerer that I am NOT, I tried percussive maintenance. I smacked the unit against my palm pretty darn hard. It them measured 5.1V and has worked fine ever since. Doesn't say too much about quality control. -- rupped SB2 (Elpac PS) fed wifi on Flac and SN > ESB Link DAC III > Audible Illusions M3A > Sunfire Stereo Sig > Martin Logan SL3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rupped's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18491 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
