Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power.

Hey @dweller - 

One rare feature in the Mytek Brooklyn is that it has a DC jack next to the normal IEC AC socket. In addition to the sound quality, it also seems to reduce the heat generated inside the unit. 

If you have an external power supply that can put out 12 V at 1 Amp, it will work. The Astron I am using has a maximum of 5 or 10 Amps. :) :) 

Best,

Hi all...this is a very timely thread.  I'm getting the DAC+ and would like to understand any small tweaks I can make that won't break the bank.

Which specific Astron model are you using with the Brooklyn DAC?

Does it come ready to "plug-n-play" or are there any settings to be changed on the PS or other parts needed?

Thanks!

@dweller - Exactly. :) 

@jcoehler I got fancy, and wanted the variable voltage:

Truth is it has so much current I could run my Logitech Squeezebox AND my DAC from the same unit, but right now they are in different rooms. 

Best,
