Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus Power Supply Question
Hi,Does anyone who owns a DacMagic Plus upgrade the "Wall Wart" power supply to something more substantial? If you did, have you realized an improvement in SQ and can you explain the improvement? Additionally, where did you source the upgraded power supply and what was the cost? I really like this little overachiever and would like to squeeze the best possible performance out of it. The unit sounds great as it is, but would a better power supply improve it further? Just as a note, my interface cabling is of very good quality as is my power conditioning.
Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback!

Great article @david_ten . Thanks, I'm going to bookmark it. The SQ of any component will be improved by replacing the wall-wart with a LPS. I've been researching LPS's here on the forum and the Uptone Audio gets very high marks, too bad the price went up... https://uptoneaudio.com/products/ultracap-lps-1-2 Also, the Uptone only has a 1.1A output, so it's for small devices. Teddy Pardo is another highly ranked LPS (using a toroidal transformer) https://www.teddypardo.com/powersupplies.html This LPS was recommended to me recently. Looks to be very high quality... http://keces-audio-usa.com/products Swagman Labs has been getting some good buzz; perhaps the best of the Chinese sourced power supplies... http://www.swagmanlab.com/Linear-Power-Supplies Teradak is the popular choice for a budget LPS. Built in China using quality parts, the reviews on the build quality is mixed; but for the money it might be worth trying. Available on Ebay... https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=teradak+power+supply&_... |
