You really need to get +/- 0.1V. There is something wrong your power supply if it's off by 10%. Under/over-voltage shouldn't hurt SB2/3, but it may function erratically. I can tell you for sure that the display and analog stage will not function correctly below 4.6V, and below 4.9 is questionable. If you're going to use an aftermarket supply try to get it dead-on 5.0. Linear supplies are usually easy to calibrate - measure at SB3, not the output. A shorter, heavier cable may help too. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18491 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
