It's strange - the specs on that power supply say 100V at 50-60 Hz, while all the others say 120 (which is the US standard). It could be a typo, but if it's not I'd be catious using it, as linear power supplies can be quite sensitive to the input voltage. In particular the output voltage on the simplest linear converters can change in proportion to the input, so you might be getting out 5 * (120/100) = 6V. Have you measured the output and checked it's 5V? -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23116 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
