We now have a solution to the internal digital power supply that comes with the likes of the Mytek Brooklyn Dac+, the Lumin U1Mini and many more. We kind of think of those internal supplies as glorified wall warts. and do you really want your high end good sounding audio component powered by a wall wart ? Not us !
So we found a European designed, european built Linear power supply ! Imagine a large regulated external power supply, with a large toroidal transformer, heavy duty power regulating transistors with quality wiring, heavy duty, high current heavy pure copper traces on the current boards. The result as heard on our Brooklyn Dac+ was better everything, better bass, wider soundstage, smoother more extended less fatiguing hi's, etc etc. Best of all it's prices are very reasonable!
$399 for the Brooklyn Dac+ ( a super simple installation, there is 12V inlet on the back DONE ). $458 for the Lumin U1Mini (it also includes a replacement for the IEC power inlet, we recommend dealer installation for the inlet & removal of the internal power supply. Most voltages are covered form 5-24 Volts ! (mytek & lumin are 12V).
These power supplies will replace most any wall wart. This is an easy upgrade for anyone with a ProJect product, a Thorens table, etc!
Sbooster Power Supplies come in six different models - Contact us for pricing.
Power is everything. Some of the biggest improvements, outside of getting that expensive component upgrade you've been eyeing, come from upgrading the electrical power supply to your system. Whether it's upgraded cables, a power conditioner, or better individual PSUs for components, the jump in detail, bass extension, air, and dynamics are electrifying. These are accompanied by notable drops in grain, noise floor, and a general fog around the sound that you didn't even know was there until it went away.
The Sbooster Best of Two Worlds Power & Precision Mk II is a highly optimized, heavily shielded linear power supply with noise filtration. Available in multiple voltages, Sboosters are compatible with a wide variety of components. Now you can boost the performance of everything from a network switch to an Intel NUC to a Lumin streaming DAC to a Dr. Feikert Woodpecker turntable, and more. The improvement is often two-fold: not only do you give your chosen component a supply of clean, dynamic power, you take a switching power supply out of your system. This is especially true of network and computer components, which often come with a cheap & nasty PSU that injects high-frequency switching noise into the mains supply. This "wall wart" can pollute the sound of your entire system, not just the product it is connected to.
The Sbooster BOTW P&P Mk II has new features that improve power flow, reduce mechanical stress, and lower internal impedance over the original.
High-quality PCB with double sided 2oz. copper, and a gold-plated finish
Better and thicker heatsink from the previous model
Upgraded internal wiring with high-quality silver plated copper and PTFE insulation
Heavy transformer with electrostatic shielding and HF magnetic shielding
Upgraded bulk capacitors
Improved reference-circuit
Next generation split-current unit
New DC-output cable with additional shielding, sleeve and gold plated connector pins
Custom-made DC-plugs
Sbooster Power Supplies come in six different models. If your component isn't listed on the compatibility list where the voltage is specified, you need to look at the back of your component. Locate the DC input on your component. Nearly always, the voltage will be specified.
Sbooster has a compatibility list of products they have tested. Note, if your product isn't on the list, it doesn't mean it won't work--you just have to look in detail at the voltage and current requirements.
