Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade

In the interview with the Pangea P100's designer, he said the P100 was first designed for use with the Cambridge Audio DacMagic, and Musical Fidelity was an addition after he saw how the P100 improved the DacMagic's performance. So I'd guess both DC and AC outputs are filtered and regulated.

Does anyone know whether the P100 is compatible with the newer DacMagic Plus? Or is there an upgraded power supply in this unit anyway?

Second, for those that have experience with the P100, I have a very basic line conditioner that all of my gear is plugged into. Ok to plug the P100 into this or better to just go straight to the wall, or no difference! Thanks, and sorry for hijacking this thread!

I talked to Audio Advisor a while back (couple of months ago maybe) and asked that exact question...they told me that the P100 would work with the "plus" once they designed a cable to fit it. I suggest calling Audio Advisor for an update on that.

Oh...and I bet plugging it into a conditioner (which I do) makes little difference as it is actually a conditioner itself, and doesn't use much juice.

Just in case anyone is still interested in this little gem and possible upgrades here's my 2 cents worth.

I built may own power supply for both the dacmagic and phono stage.

I used a 2amp toroid transformer for the phono stage and a 5 amp toroid for the DACmagic - lot of headroom:-)

I used Kimber speaker cable for the 12 v power supply cable with xlr connectors and a furutech 14 gauge mains power cable. I also use solid silver interconnects on both

Used with a really good power supply these units perform way above their class - outperforming units many times their modest price

Since they are a 12 v AC supply they only require a good transformer - no rectification is require, making it simple to create a good diy supply

A DIY supply like mine can be made for around $200, but replacing the two units for better sounding sources would cost considerably more
