There are a many variants of these open frame 5V powersupplies. If I remember correctly, CardinalFang used the 3A version. I made a PSU with this unit: http://rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/rswww/searchBrowseAction.do?Nr=avl%3auk&N=4294680492&in_dim_search=1&name=SiteStandard&forwardingPage=line&R=5362993&callingPage=/jsp/search/search.jsp&BV_SessionID=@@@@1508670363.1160603189@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddjdfilhimcefeceefdffhdgmn.0&cacheID=uknetscape (its a Calex 32005A) The idea is that you should use an industry grade non-switching (linear) 5V powersupply that delivers at least 1.5A. Sound engineering practice says (and I'm probably going to get flamed for this) that you should use a powersupply that can deliver twice the amount of power that you need. As the SB3 uses between 0.5A and 0.9A, if I remember correctly, many of us went for the 3A units. -- tomsi42 SB3, Rotel RC-1070/RB-1070, dynaBel Exact, Kimber Kable 4TC and Timbre. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomsi42's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2477 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28548 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
