I'm looking for an additional power supply for the SB2, mainly just to have another one hanging around so that it's easier to move the SB2 from room to room.
Searching the forums, I came across a bunch of folks (mainly on the audiophile forum) who were looking to buy or build a linear supply in hopes that it would sound better than the stock switching supply. But interestingly, although there were several inquiries, I couldn't find any mention of an off-the-shelf linear power supply. I came across the Elpac WM050-1950-760 for $17.72 at Allied Electronics. It's a linear supply. Is there any reason it won't work for the SB2? It's only 1.2A output (the stock is 2A), but IIRC the SB2 needs only .65A. (Don't rely on my memory; do your own search.) Folks over at head-fi.org seem to like the 24V version of the Elpac (WM080-1950-760) for headphone amps, so I'm guessing the quality is decent. Any comments? Any reason this is a bad idea? http://www.elpac.com/products/powersupplies/external/single.html http://www.alliedelec.com/Search/ProductDetail.asp?SKU=8792050 -- ephemere _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
