Linear Power Supply for a DAC

I’m looking for a recommendation for a Linear Power Supply for a Chord DAC. There are some units available in the UK, but I’d rather find one here in the USA.
The DAC is the Chord QuteHD DSD Dac and I’m currently using the stock wall-wart.

Power supply specs are: 12v, 1A, 2.1mm connector. The DAC has a grounding post if needed.

I found this Teddy Pardo model, and the specs say power output “up to 2A.” Would this be a good match for my DAC?

Looking for quality, but wouldn’t mind finding something less expensive than the Pardo.

I use Paul Hynes LPS and I find them to be a terrific choice! Highly recommended!

Hello, hello,

I wanted to see if anyone could suggest where to list or sell the Accubasston Linear Power Supply that's mentioned in this thread. I have considerable experience selling things on the internet and I'm pretty sure this won't sell on locally or on eBay or Audiogon. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, guys.

I have a Farad power supply being delivered from the Netherlands tomorrow for my Chord Dave DAC. Thier prices include shipping but they aren't cheap.  

Dave uses 3 voltages so I had to buy 3 power supplies plus a custom harness than Farad makes.

They have what you need for Chord Qutest on the shelf.

I haven't heard it yet but if you give me a couple of days I'll post my impressions.
