I'm loving the SBT and Rega DAC combo. One tweak I discovered last night is that the DAC seems a little sensitive to the stock SBT power supply. I had them both on the same power board filtered from the mains. I then moved the SBT power supply to a separate filtered power board so the Rega DAC was completely isolated - lower treble became much less pronounced and natural, and the midrange seems more relaxed, present and less patchy. I was quite surprised that the SBT power supply was affecting the DAC so much. I also assume that switching power supplies like computers etc and any sort of wall wart need to be isolated from the Rega for best performance. And that the stock Touch power supply isn't that great for neighboring equipment.
I am now waiting on a replacement linear supply so I can get the SBT stock out of the system altogether. -- HumanMedia ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HumanMedia's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44865 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84783 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
