Keep in mind the "magic" PS is supposedly a *LINEAR* PS. I personally don't believe any of it, but that's the one everyone is quoting. A linear PS will be much larger than a switching PS. So specify a 5V DC, 1.2A+, linear PS. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20855 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

I'm in New Zealand and cost of shipping one from US is prohibitive. What technical details do I need to provide the electronics guys over here to get a good quality power supply that delivers 5v and will not damage the SB3?

You can get one 'here' (http://tinyurl.com/djtbv) for $38.95 plus shipping. Otherwise you can look on eBay, you may get lucky. -- nelamvr6 nelamvr6's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3113 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20855 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
