Pls reserve!

Brader, I see our DAC in your test, how is the performance when paired with the USB power plant?

I'd say I have never been more happier. I can't wait to finalize the DACs brader.

Yun cdr king USB sound card nakapag drive ng PX100, yun el cheapo MUSE DAC ko di na tunog cheap.

Linear PSU for the USB Power Plant

jambam, what's the brand/model of your Sabre dac (ala ODAC)? Have you compared it with the ODAC?

That was my ultimate plan, but RS is giving me a hard time to acquire the Model B and asks me to wait until April. I've read that power is the only quirk the RP has and so I intend to supply the cleanest I possibly can when I get hold of one.

I have the 2 by Hifidiy , one is self powered , while the other one has an isolated power section where you need to supply power separately....sorry I have not compare it with the odac.

Yup but for me I was thinking of isolating the power section of the pogoplug , now that I think I got the software where I want it , Its like haveing a Sotm sms-100 ... As the Sms-100 is really a pogoplug with a separated psu section .plus audio centric software

Quote from: JoeyGS on Feb 27, 2015 at 12:43 AM

For sure jambam....... Kuha na

Ikaw na muna , have jojo isolate the power supply of your pogoplug and use his linear one, and you will have a SMS-100 na . .. you do know the Sotm psu all alone is 1kusd option while the repackaged sotm is another 400usd ...I will update your software right after and you will have a real bang for the buck system at a small fraction versus the sotm

Heres a review using the high end psu

JoeyGS · « **Reply #10995 on:** Feb 27, 2015 at 10:45 AM »

As of now my Pogo plug is connected wrt power supply as follows:

Wall mains --> Pogoplug --> USB clable --> iFi iUSB --> Dual head iFi USB cable --> Data --------------------> DAC
--> iUSB USB Power -->

Essentially the Pogoplug power does not go into the external DAC as the iFi iUSB supply its own clean power to the DAC.

Do you mean that I modify the PSU of the Pogoplug into a linear one?

On a lighter note, I need a large DC motor, a pulley and a hook... ang hirap kaya magbanlaw ng pantalon ang bigat!

Yun barrel will be the clothes on a hook and instead of me pulling down on the rope, a large motor winds the thing back and forth.

Sa tingin niyo mababanlawan yun mga damit nun?

yup just like the sotm sms-100 , ( 5V @ 2A amps)

in one audiophile site they also recommend to make the router psu to be linear . to further clean up the sound , or we can just make it wireless

and they say it sounds better because it does not have a video display ckt.

Ok then, will try this. Thanks

Actually we have one already pero that's easy eh, no diy there anymore.

Naghahanap lang ng ibang gagawin.

Walang mechanical advantage ang single pulley. it's just a change in direction of force applied. That of course was not your point. Just a consideration if you pursue the project.
