Kalali - The power supply has banana plugs on the back. You need to make your own cable. I used these connectors for the DAC end: https://amzn.to/2uyZTBD You can use any regular banana jacks or bare wire for the power supply end. |
erik_squires This was my reason for starting this tread to DC power FOR my new Mytek Brooklyn. DC 12v power is favored so long as it's super clean and doesn't ad ripple waves or transformer hum if it's that type. I.e Not switching AC TO DC. I have read several reviews on PS from England recommended by Mytek. Suggests Mim 5 to 6 amps 250 to 400 watts of ready reserve power. The Astron! Isn't more for Ind or gaming applications, rather than super quiet very low noise floor for extreme EARS? |
@tubes444 - It's really a piece of test gear. 99% of buyers are probably electrical hobbyists, engineers and the like. For the unit I recommend, the sustained maximum is 35 Amps at 15 V, way more than the Mytek needs. It is a super quiet and very stable linear regulator design. I highly recommend it for those who like overkill. :) Best, Erik |
The model I have been using is an Astron RS12A. Keep the 12V DC lead as short as possible. The type of wire used can make a very noticeable difference in tone, speed, clarity and extension in the highs. I have tried dozens of different types of wire, from stranded, solid core, copper, silver plated and pure silver. They all sound much different. I did not like the sound from the heavier gauge wires, or any solid core wire. Heavy gauge wire make things sound darker. 22 gauge stranded copper seemed to have very good balance. Experiment for yourself and your taste. The ultra-pure, expensive wires did not sound any better. Keep it simple. |
