Hi, I've just taken delivery of a Shek D1 and was a little surprised at
how lightweight cheap the power supply that is supplied with it
feels.
It's a variable output regulated / switched model that came preset at
12v.
It may be great - I've got nothing else to compare it to - but in my
Since you're in the UK, get a Skynet SMPS 8080. They're easily available
(Ebay too) and cheap. The beauty of this PS is that is can power both
the Squeezebox and the Shek Dac at the same time, as it puts out both5v
and 12v.
I cannot tell you which of the two profited more, but the SMPS makes

If a linear, regulated supply is what you want check out CPC who stock
Stontronics power supplies in the UK.

Hmm the one I have for my SB3 says 7.5VA on it. Now that's a 5V supply

I'm quite interested in what you say about having built some linear
power supplies for people before. If

Hi Phil. I already have a Stontronics for my SB3 and it is feeding a
Shek D1 DAC. It's the DAC power supply that I'm referring to in this
thread. I've ordered a 12v linear Stontronics one, hoping that I will
