Best linear PSU for SonicTransporter?


Recommended Posts

So I pulled the trigger on the SonicTransporter HQPlayer model and Andrew has confirmed it's on it's way to me :D

 

This hobby being what it is, I'm already scoping out a better LPS for it. Andrew sells one but as I'm importing to the UK both the additional courier & import charges put me off and I've opted for getting one locally.

 

The SonicTransporter needs a 19v, 5amp PSU so the Uptone LPS-1 is alas out. Unless I daisy chain 3 of them!  (joke*)

 

From my reading I think the best options are:

 

  1. Paul Hynes SR7 (seems to be the best but made to order and will take a couple months or thereabouts)
  2. Sbooster 
  3. HDPlex 200W

 

I'm leaning towards the SR7 but the thought of having to wait so long has me wondering if the Sbooster is perhaps the way to go.

 

Any other PSU's that I should be considering?

 

Also with isolation downstream (optical, ISO Regen or both - I have both currently but might take the FMC's out) is the SR7 overkill? Or is it still worth the investment in terms of money and patience?

 

Many Thanks,

Alan

Thanks @magnuska

 

And from your signature it looks like you have optical isolation in place (TP-Link M100CM) but you still hear a sound improvement with the HD Plex?

 

Cheers,

Alan

Hi John, 

 

Do you mind sharing a picture or more details? 

 

I'm wondering how this unit compares to my 19v Sbooster. 

 

Thanks, 

Alan
