There are at least one member (of this fine forum) that has measured the load of the squeezebox, and it showed that the maximum load is about 1A. There has been many heated discussion on whether a new power supply will improve the sound quality or not. There are 3 choices that are popular (as far as I understand it...): 1. Buy an Elpac unit. 2. Bua a Power One/Lambda/other 5V/3A unit and build a power unit around it. 3. Buy a high-end power supply from Red-Wine, Boulder or another High-End "modder" company. I have bought a 3A linear unit from Farnell InOne (part# 4893724, Calex 32005A), and I am convinced does improve the sound quality. >From what I gather is that the majority of people who have gone for choice 2 or 3 have experienced an imrovement in sound quality, but the opinion is divided on choice 1. Why, I don't know? And I don't dare to speculate because then the flamewars starts all over again... -- tomsi42 SqueezeBox2, Rotel RC-1070/RB-1070, dynaBel Exact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomsi42's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2477 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23193 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
