The VR MINI Ultracapacitor Power Supply Thread

[mozes]

Hi Vinnie

I am currently enjoying my MINI with my Brooklyn DAC, it never sounded better. My question is why don't you make a variable voltage so the customer can select the voltage depending on the device to be powered by the MINI? Is it cost or performance related?

Thanks

Moussa

Thanks Vinnie for your detailed and informative answer as usual! So let it be fixed voltage then

@mozes how is the mini performing with the Brooklyn? I see that you're using it tonpower the Brooklyn. On paper, it seems that the 2.5A output is lower than what Mytek recommends? 

What other power supplies have you tried and how does the Mini compare to them in regards to sound quality? 

The VR mini is the best PSU I tried on my Brooklyn. It is better than the JS-2 that I had before. The Brooklyn doesn't need a lot of juice as the VR is never even warm. I don't use the headphone amp btw.
