Musical Fidelity V-DAC replacement power suppy

[jsp]

I have a Musical Fidelity V-DAC and want to replace the cheap wall wart it comes with. I know Musical Fidelity sells an upgrade PSU but it is too expensive. Can anyone recommend an upgrade which is reasonably price and where I can purchase it? The wall wart specs are: I/P 120v AC 60Hz 2.4 – 45 w; O/P 12v DC 500ma Thank You

Hi -

 

I bought a Pyramid PS-3KX power supply for my V-DAC.

It works great.

The Input is 115V AC, 60Hz, 50 Watts.

Output: 13.8V DC. 2.5 AMP Constant/3 AMP Surge.

 

It has solid reviews and is the PS of choice among many V-DAC

users. I read a number of reviews on Amazon before buying this

power supply. It is reasonably priced at a number of places on

the web for approximately $35 with shipping. Just Google it and

you will see a number of vendors like Amazon and Buy, etc.

 

To match the Pyramid with the V-DAC, you will need purchase and

setup a simple 3.5mm power plug which I also got for about $2 at

Amazon. The Pyramid and plug are both listed as recommended

extras with your V-DAC. The plug is very easy to setup if

you've ever stripped wires or worked with electronics. You

simply strip the leads on the end opposite of the 3.5mm jack.

The leads simply attach to the Pyramid's terminals (red and black

screw type). I used quality connector plugs for this.

 

I haven't had any problems with this power supply. It is solidly

built like a rock with quality case construction. It only

gets slightly warm after a long time of operation.

 

Hopefully this helps you.

Email me if you need further help.
