Arcam 8 with British power cord


I was recently sent an Arcam alpha 8 cd player from England.
It has the three prong European power cord and I assume is set up for DC power. Would it be expensive to convert it for US usage?
Thanks

read the back of the unit, it will say 240 volt AC 50Hz. It may have a switch on the back for dual voltage but I doubt it. In order for it to work in the US you will need a step up transformer but don't take my word for it, wait for a few more posts to come through and also post this on "Audio Asylum.com".
