Hi, Mr Vicol,
I made an order of saligny power on yoir webstore and emailed you. Hope to receive it soon.
Thank you
Apologise to mr Vicol, email was replied and it did appear on my spam/junk folder. MY BAD. Reply sent. Look forward to receiving it.
Thank you
Hi, for DACs (low voltage, low current) which would be the one (LT, Standard, Power) offering the best sound quality? Or what about the coming Universal and PowerGAN?

No, will not work with Saligny Standard or Saligny Power.
Therefore we have designed Saligny Universal and Saligny GaN.
These are fully discrete synchronous rectifiers that support center tapped transformer.
Saligny Universal is already in production and will be available in April.
To be noticed when sales start, you may want to follow us on twitter and/or instagram.

@swak ,
Beside ability to work with center tapped transformers for differential power supply, Saligny Universal drive floating mosfets better than any other LT4320 synchronous rectifier.
Performance have been considerably improved in noise and power dissipated.
Another important aspect is that the design can be tailored to offer best performance for specific application - in terms of frequency, voltage, current.
To answer your question, yes, Saligny Universal sound better.

If I may 'popin' a stray word here (a bit off the subject) but the filter caps in any power supply have more influence on the power supply "sound" than the rectifiers - the LT synchronous ones are just that much quieter and provide better "details, transients, etc" (IMO here!) than say, soft recovery diodes + snubber networks and IME, the Saligny ones are just that much better again
I've used these types of rectifiers mainly in amplifiers like the First Watt, Hiraga 30W, etc (ie. class A amps, mostly lower PSSR) and use the 'normal' soft recovery diodes in the Salas type supplies for low current use, so no actual experience of the Saligny ones in low power use.
I would expect similar benefits particularly if coupled with good quality caps, transformers and regulators.
Surprisingly, I've come across situations that actually benefit the overall sound by using a 'rather average' quality power supplies in amps, etc but it's not all that common for higher performance equipment
