Finally got this up and running today.
This is based around a 1.5kVA transformer (that's 1500VA), 60,000uF of capacitance, an 8 lb choke to filter off backflow RF noise from the SBT. The meter on front is a nice plus. It's aircraft control panel surplus that originally sold for $400.

The voltage regulator is a high spec 5V discrete module that looks beefier than the Naim DR ones.

In the short time I have had it running tonight, it is starting after the first hour to sound insanely good. Bass in particular is very extended and tuneful, easily shaking the house. I am yet to try 24-bit files.

Comparison with CDS3 will eventually follow. But right now its nice to have random access.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
