Please also suggest some more dacs under $2000 with external switch for voltage conversion.
thanks.
thanks.
Not only that Benchmark DAC2 has switching power supply but also has many of them inside. It uses main +12V switcher and then DC/DC converters to create +/-18V. I don't know of linear power supply that can operate from 88 to 264 VAC without any switch and at the same time to be able to operate up to 373VDC. services/dac-modification/benchmark-dac2- modification/>http://mysoundaffairs.com/modification- services/dac-modification/benchmark-dac2-modification/ Look at the picture - perforated metal box in front is Switch Mode Power Supply.

I had asked W4S along time ago for the DAC2 which i bought. The DAC-2 requires a power supply pin configuration change. Contact W4S directly. I was told that they can supply a power jumper that can be used to reconfigure it for one of the voltages, and be left out for the other. I have not done this but best bet is to double check with them. At least those designs were changeable if you open the cover and get the new jumper. |
