The new generation UltraCap LPS-1.2: USER IMPRESSIONS and QUESTIONS thread

[simon_pepper]

Now I am using the Pure Silver DC cable available at https://mcru.co.uk/product/mcru-audio-grade-dc-power-cable/?v=d2cb7bbc0d23 between my UltraRendu and UltraCap LPS 1, and sounding wonderful in my Naim NDS with Roon via the Sonore UPnP Bridge.

Thanks, Simon

My contribution here, is I am still running a LPS 1.1 powering a UltraRendu (the two

units have the dual front plate to make a neat slimline unit). It is not my original, however, which I bought 2nd hand and ran for several years. On its demise, being a 2nd hand unit there is no obligation from the supplier to honour anything, however Alex provided me a 1.1 unit. This one without a working power status LED, but it operates (unit & soak tested before shipping). This was provided at less than unit price, given the unit’s ‘condition’ but I can continue with the configuration.
I now only use the UltraRendu to run SonoreUPnP Bridge for my Naim NDS network player with Roon, so no additional current draw on the USB Vbus.

Excellent service from a small supplier, better than larger suppliers who are totally process bound. Innovative product and different to traditional approaches.

 

For my EtherREGEN, I was using a eBay sourced LPS previously used with Netgear and Cisco switches the EtherREGEN replaced (blew away), but when this failed, it was superseded by a Farad3 supply.

Brexit loads UK supplied products to Ireland with import tax and duty, so European sourced equipment offers better value. US products through a UK distributor already have the shipping, import tax & duty incorporated into the UK price, so the landed price here effectively has tax on tax.
