This supply is NOT SUITABLE for use with an SB3 as it is rated at 1.5amps - the SB3 supply should be at least 2 amps, preferably 3amps for reliable operation. I have measured my SB3 as drawing 1.3 amps using the digital outs, WiFi off, so could be more with headphones, wireless, analogue out, display options or temperature change (I have not measured these). Not much headroom if you are using a 1.5amp supply! Probably better off sticking with the original switching supply rather than risking causing damage to the SB3 with one of these. If it fails it could also destroy the SB3 and I doubt Slim Devices will be particularly sympathetic to your plight. If you are determined to use one make sure it has plenty of ventilation and check regularly for overheating. It should get no hotter than the stock SB3 supply if you need a benchmark. -- Heuer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
