Buffalo GS20xx - Bypass 12V stage via 3 external PSs

Sometimes a picture speaks for itself. Or not in this case.

 

A group of us are doing this.

 

There will always be a debate on 'discrete and not' LPS power. This takes the former route. The intervention of sub-intervention in the power path is another issue worthy of debate. Your intervention is welcome from that point of view (Which we are not doing). The sonic result will be interesting for sure-to know.

 

The clock in the switch is another point for debate. Which you have decided not to partake in (Perhaps wisely?).

Using a high quality clock on my Ether Regen gave my network a turbo boost - perhaps should state - completely calmed the network down and pushes the music thru in its most ethereal state (Pun intended) ....So it is, that I am doing the same for my Buffalo switch.

 

Yes, many have decide not to add clock and implement the best power they can provide into their system. Like you, and I understand that is wonderful too!

Hi Zerung

With you say there was a large boost to SQ your 12v LPS power supply compared with the stock switching supply?  How would you describe the changes?

@tims The unit with out the LPS is a computer interface. Mediator of data, 'A post man'. Best in its class. With the LPS it becomes a musical instrument and starts to be the facilitator of music. The noise dies down and it becomes quieter. The nuance in the music comes through.

@tgb No offence taken.

 

@Soul Analogue Has just joined CA. He is our resident DIY wizard, the proponent of this intervention. Perhaps I can ask him to chime in on his clock design.
