Linear Power Supply for a DAC
The DAC is the Chord QuteHD DSD Dac and I’m currently using the stock wall-wart.
Power supply specs are: 12v, 1A, 2.1mm connector. The DAC has a grounding post if needed.
I found this Teddy Pardo model, and the specs say power output “up to 2A.” Would this be a good match for my DAC?

Looking for quality, but wouldn’t mind finding something less expensive than the Pardo.

To Audioengr - Steve Nugent, regarding your comment: "The digital LPS should be very fast reacting to provide the current transients for digital. I recommend the Sbooster supplies. Analog supply should be quiet, can be slower responding but input noise rejection is important. Paul Hynes supplies do the best job of this." What power supply specification or other property could one use to tell if one supply is faster than another. I am also looking for a very good linear power supply for my Acoustic Plan Digimaster DAC which uses 4 - EC86 tubes and has a 15V ? 2A DC input. Do power supplies have different "sound signatures" (if that's the right term). Acoustic Plan makes an optional linear power supply, the Powermaster, that will run two of their components but it costs $2000. |
