This issue could be resolved if someone at Slim would be willing to
respond with the SB3's wattage usage. The difference between a 1 amp
power supply and a 2 amp supply is that the 2 amp supply is going to be
capable of delivering twice the wattage: 10 watts vs. 5.
How much power does the SB3
Give me a few minutes and I will tell you - I use one of these:

Here's what I can do-
I'll rip an audio track through my C-9 (I'll have to use the analog
inputs on my sound card, not so high quality) and while the track is
being ripped, I'll switch the carver box in and out a few times. Then
I'll post the file to a web page. You can then play it back on
OK I'm back. Figures are as follows:
My voltage is 243.9v
Frequency is 49.9hz
SB3 is consuming 5/6 watts, 0.04 amps, 9VA, PF of 0.61
The SB3 was on Random Play, digital coax out, volume control at
maximum, display medium size text. Actually with the SB3 in standby the
figures are the same but

Here's another question.
A lot of the folks going with a linear power supply seem to be using
outboard DACs. I presume these folks side with linear supplies because
they generate less high-frequency noise. However, is it not true that
switching supplies generate less hum (low-frequency noise)?
I'm still not sure the board has reached a consensus. Does anyone think
the linear power supply makes a difference for the digital output?

Rest of my PSU parts arrive tomorrow so I should have a working linear
supply by Thursday. I will then do a comparison but in the interest of
fairness I will use my resident 'Golden Ears' - my wife. No interest in
technology but she does have the ears of a bat. I can put her in front
of a system,
Well, I hope you can test the digital output. I'm very interested to
hear (pun intended) the outcome.

I recorded a few tracks by looping the audio out from my computer
through the C-9 and back into the line input. I switched the C-9 on
and off at 1 minute intervals during the recording (refer to the flac
tags).
Here are links to the files which will only be there for a week. I
will also post

Don't forget the wireless ethernet card--that could consume more power
than the regular wired network model as well...

You're absolutely right my fault - i was typing fast and
botched it completely: I had *meant* to write:
4.37 -- 4.70 voltage range *not* 1.4x.
My guess was that because the Allied unit I got
was low by over 10% from the spec of 5.0V,
this led to the flickering when it powered
