Mytek Dac going Ac to DC power.


Feed back on those who Gone DC to power the Audio component's. As there's a number of AC/DC

power converters on the market place. BUT! SOME REALLY DON'T MEET a true Audiophile sonic bench mark.

Look forward to those who  HAVE gone DC.

The Astron RS12A puts out 10 amps. The Mytek draws a constant 1.5 amps. I never saw it peak out any higher than that when in use. It does not create any problems using 22 ga. wire, unless you are using a long run, which is not suggested. My wire is less than 2 feet. The DC wire is certainly a "tuning point" for me, and different types/gauges certainly change the tone. I urge you to experiment until you find one that gives you the best synergy in your system. 

Some of the audiophile power supplies I had tried were the HD Plex 100, the Keces, the Vinnie Rossi Mini Pure DC-4EVR (ultracapacitor powered), and a Teradak power supply. Some of them may look nicer and have better specs. than the Astron, but my ears tell me which sound better, and that is all I care about. The low price is a bonus too.

Golden spec high Audio gear doesn’t guarantee Golden Ear

performance. As I’ve found out over the year’s.

You have tried HDPLEX 100 which I was going audition. Only they coming out with highly upgrade sonically HDPLEX 200/200 watt output

$490 bucks first of August according to Larry their national Rep.

Thanks your insight on the Mytek Dac current draw. Very interesting

4 sure.

p.s. What sonic improvements did the Astron RS12A have over the

Mytek internal 12VPS that was most noticeable to your ear.

Bass, Mid, Highs, transits, Depth of sound stage etc.?
