Announcing the next generation: UltraCap LPS-1.2 (Now 5/7/9/12V! ; Now with parallel LT3045 regulators!)

[pl_svn]

oooops: missed the announcement thread here (no emails to faithful customers, this round, Alex?  )

managed to jump straight-away on the wagon though 

 

will use it to power a Qutest DAC as soon as I can grab one

Rob Watts wrote (Qutest's official thread on Head-Fi) that a 5v/1A power supply is fine

while waiting for my UltraCap LPS-1.2 (and Chord Qutest DAC)...

From where you bought this cable?

 

custom made by a vendor you can find referred to by others in the DIY DC Cables thread

ok, so...

- 5.5x2.1 barrel plug to USB micro cable is here

- grabbed a Qutest this afternoon but...

- where’s my UltraCaps LPS-1.2? 

 

just kidding: got shipping notice yesterday, thank you Alex 

[pl_svn]

for those planning to use their LPS-1.2 with a Chord Qutest:

 

- this adapter will not work (doesn't fit Qutest's "recessed slot" where USB micro is)

- this one instead does

That's disappointing but good to know.  Thanks Paolo.

 

tried both, Alex

the one piece one *might* work (barely plugs in but it's probably enough to make contact) just... it's not "firm" enough and moves by just touching either the cable or DAC

 

a different model with a thinner, and *oval*, part around the USB micro plug will work, but I couldn't find any

or... one might cut away some plastic above and below the plug

as I had to take everything apart to install the LPS-1.2 delivered this morning I took a caliper and... Qutest's USB micro is inside a "recess" measuring 9.9x12.8mm (HxW)

 

hope this helps

looks to me it translates to: “as we are not able doing it properly we do it this way” ?
