Best 5V SMPS ? - Page 44

wirewiggler · 1st December 2020, 11:09 AM

I really like my nirvana power supply, purchased from Chicago electric - prompt shipping and communications. It seams like a nicely built unit and good value for the money but for the life of me I do not understand why the dropped the ball on the last mile- the output cable. When all things settle down And warranty is not a problem I will have to replace it. At some point I will have buy a shanty and give it a try as well. I will also have to buy and build a Iancanaca power supply with his super cap board. I bet when all is said the shanty will be cheaper, but it will be nice to compare them.

I found that the output cable was better than using the USB connection with the usb to barrel connector that came with the DAC, so cables can make a difference depending on shielding/grounding schemes and how close DC cable is to AC cables. Star quad would be optimum DC cable, but that adds $$. Question for Allo is the connect ground to PE switch operational for the USB connector?
