I've been looking at some of the historical threads about power supplies, but thought I'd start yet another post on the topic to see what the latest recommendations are.
I recently picked up a secondhand Squeezebox Touch, but think I might need to switch out the power supply to something better. When I plug my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones into either the headphone port (and I've also tried via the RCA-out using an 3.5mm adapter) I get a very noticeable background hum through the headphones when noise cancelling is enabled. The hum disappears when I turn ANC off though. I've tested the headphones wired to a few other devices - a laptop (plugged in) and a phone (plugged in) and don't get the problem, so it seems to only happen with my Squeezebox Touch, and only when ANC is enabled. Having read several threads about the poor quality of the original power adapter, I'm assuming that the problem is likely due to this? Due to the other threads being quite old now, can anybody recommend a decent replacement UK PSU that won't break the bank? I've seen the iFi iPower mentioned elsewhere, but it's £50... which is almost as much as I paid for my Touch... so is there anything cheaper than might resolve the apparent electrical noise I'm experiencing? Thanks for any advice! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FatPete's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64294 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114675
