Hi guys, just bought saligny power. Hope to receive it soon. Any good feedback on SQ differences, before and after using the saligny power rectifier?
Thanks
Thanks
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?

I am entertaining the idea of trying these in some of my projects, and I agree we could use a guide as to which version is best-sounding for a given application (amp, DAC etc.).
@ATAUDIO
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.

iTiberius, will there be an increase in sound quality with the new rectifiers when used in DACs or clocks vs the LC and standard versions?
@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.

Yes I used the SALIGNY Power. Seem to be pretty rugged as well as a low voltage drop. Sound wise it’s hard for me to tell since other variables changed at same time of using um. I like the mounting & connection points.
Did you order the standard, but then used the Zeno board? Or just use it without? He now has the universal which I would probably order.
Would the standard not be more than enough current delivery? Or just not appropriate for a power amp?
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
