Hello forum friends... I have just come into a JCAT Femto card and would like to either build, or purchase a super clean supply for this animal.
The specs are as above, the maker says 5v at 2A seems like a lot, but okay.
Hit me with any suggestions you may have and thanks!
As far as money goes, I don't want to spend a ton in it, but I want it clean. 😀

It's nowhere near 2A. If I remember correctly, it was 160 mA draw when I measured. I use a Salas ultrabib shunt regiulator, works very well.
@ Thom, I agree I can't see how, or why this thing would need to be 2A, but I defer to the designer.
@ hibo4 I have been there and looked at them, they are on my list of possibles. Thanks

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your email and interest in JCAT.
5V/2A is needed,
The card has an external PSU option which eliminates computer as the source of power. The OPTIMO 3 DUO power supply is highly recommended for absolute best sound quality: OPTIMO 3 DUO - JCAT . next-gen computer audio
