L-Adapter

[Salas]

Some systems benefit a lot some others less. Depending on their weak points or not. But you can use such a PSU for so many applications because its Vout is adjustable and its current delivery high.

Now can use the Daphile DSD256 upsample without a lot of degradation of signal.

You found a subjective difference for this particular processing function with using the new linear supply you mean?

 

[merlin el mago]

Yes.

Yes that's normal, I'm not saying not improve the sound but your designs always improved a lot the sound. Yes it's very versatile, it's nice to have this kind of gear.

Hey wait, used the same power strip sharing other SMPS connected, time to power the L-Adapter to the dedicated power line trip like the rest of audio system.

 

[Salas]

You can even use it to heat tubes during experiments!

 

[Salas]

Changed the heatsink for a bigger one.

Board sink again or external?

 

[merlin el mago]

Board sink again, not the largest I own like the used in Re:load, size is between the two, box are very well ventiled.

 

[merlin el mago]

Could I use the SMPS filter between the L-Adapter & the load?

SQ improved powering the L-Adapter at the dedicated power line strip only for audio.

 

[Salas]

L-Adapter shouldn't have a problem with that cLC HF filter so you can try it.

 

[merlin el mago]

Will do thanks.

BTW could I use similar filter between BiB & Amanero?

I listened less clear the treble.

 

[Salas]

BiB has LowZ that you will compromise with the filter

 

[merlin el mago]

I have a separate board for rectifiers plus mains caps, I guess could I use between the PSU & the BiB, right?

 

[merlin el mago]

Salas what a lot of low & mid information lost with SMPS.

 

[Salas]

You did back to SMPS a/b test and you realized?

There better

Yes, also I guess the LEDs bar could be used as cathode resistor like Sic diodes?

 

[Salas]

Not sure about that

Not exactly, I know very well my sound system, now I listen a lot of more lows & mids but less treble.

Also listen more noise from noDac when playing music with few instruments but the noise was always present before but not as clear like now and isn't related to PSU, Amanero, regs. etc. but with SMPS + filter was less low and less & now is more treble and more.

L-Adapter improved when connected to the power strip not sharing SMPS. Also improved from yesterday to today, I guess warm up done.

I will try the Mark Johnson PO89ZB SMPS DC inline DC filter between the PSU & the Bib powering the Amanero to see if can do something about the noise.

 

[merlin el mago]

LEDs bar not for DHT but can be possible for IDHT?

 

[Salas]

Like any other row of LEDs yes
