Sotm sps-500

Have any of you compared it to (or can you) PSUs like the LPS-1, the VR Mini, the Paul Hynes?

Some precision is necessary here.

 

The (non-Ultra) sMS-200 is specified for a voltage range of 6.5-12V, so you can definitely experiment to see what voltage sounds best.

 

The sMS-200ultra is specified for a voltage range of only 6.5-9V. This has to do with the presence of the sCLK-EX board in the Ultra, which has its own voltage constraints.

 

Optionally, you can buy an sMS-200ultra configured for 12V, but this won't work at the lower voltages.

The 12v version of the sMS-200ultra can be changed to 9v as follows:

 

  1. Remove the 4 bolts using T8 torx driver and open the front case.

  2. Insert the short jumper to the 1^st REG OUT(R342) on sCLK-EX board
 

 

Oh neat!

 

I'm assuming when you do so, you can run it at 7V (with an LPS-1)?

Unfortunately not, this change only allows 9v.

 

Doh!

Thinking  of getting sms-200ultra, sps-500 and Tx-usbultra package , but I am being quoted +$550 Aus for the upgraded silver Y-splitter, which is a bit rich for my blood. IS it worth it? Anyone tried aftermarket solutions?
