I can answer that one ;) Yes, that's the unit. I am using a compatible one from Calex. At the last count, I found at least 4 compatible units that should do the job (PowerOne, Lambda, Calex and one I don't remember the name of). These units are all linear PSU's designed for industrial use, built like a tank and are very stable. I could hear a similar improvement as richidoo; I use solid state rig instead of tubes - the improvement is still clear. milton10;164728 Wrote: > > I just took a look at Anticables.com.

As you are using a set of Audioquest ones, you should be OK for now. milton10;164728 Wrote: > > One last thing. Are you using the analog out on the SB or the digital > out?

I don't know about richidoo, but I am using analog out. The PSU upgrade benefits the digital out too, but not as much. When I got the unit, it sounded flat, but after changing the PSU, things improved a lot. There was also a bug in the firmware at one point which had an adverse effect on the sound of the analog output. If the PSU upgrade isn't good enough, you could always try out a Lavry or Benchmark DAC.
