Power supply for Desktop SE or Balanced?
Hi Ty & crew.
Have a question:
On the page for the Desktop SE it says:
*CAVEAT: Please be aware that upgraded Home and Max modules and DACs will require the use of the separately-sold Desktop Power Supply (DPS, $399.00usd) in order to truly realize the full sonic potential of the upgraded module/DAC.
Yet on the page for the Balanced Desktop it does not seem to need the DPS because it comes with the new Astrodyne power supply that will offer more current on demand for the Balanced Desktop Amp without having to shell out for the HeadRoom DPS. Right?
So:
Balanced Desktop amp with Home Module and Home Balanced DAC = $1497.00
Single ended Desktop amp with Home Module, Max DAC and DPS = $1496.00
Would the Single Ended have any advantage over the Balanced at this point, or would the Balanced still be better (using balanced HD-650's W/Cardas cable)
Thanks,
TR
