Pass Labs XA25


While reading the 6moons reviews from 2018 and 2023, I noticed in the pictures from the 2023 review the XA25 has what looks like a small transformer (I may be wrong) mounted to a circuit board. I don’t see this transformer in the pictures from 2018. Does anyone know what’s the purpose of this transformer?

Not familiar with the XA25, but I do know from other models that Pass regularly makes upgrades without changing the model designation...I was told this by Pass customer service...call Pass, they are very responsive

 

That's a choke used as a filter on the power supply to smooth the DC voltage.
