SMPS power supply for DAC
« on: Aug 12, 2017 at 02:33 PM »
I am using an external DAC with an SMPS based power supply. Aside from a 12v battery, is there a better type of power supply that I can use ?

Yes, this is the best way and JojoD makes one of the best linear regulated power supply, which I am using for my streamer/dac.
