sorry for two threads. I bought this:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/12v-5a-60w-ac-power-supply-unit-with-5-5mm-dc-plug-for-lcd-monitors-cord-us-plug-110-240v-15993

 

I now need the plug to be able to connect it to my v-dac.

Where can I find such adapter? thanks

hm..it seems a little bit too fast bought because with the knowledge that the plug doesnt fit, it is a little bit curious. Nevertheless you can cut the cable and solder the right plug but take care of minus and plus or you can change it and buy a universal one with a lot of plugs and hopefully the right one. Actually I have the problem that I dont know right now the english word for "hohlstecker" or "dc stecker" because this is what you need.

 

This maybe with the right diameter:

or just search for dc plugs at the Conrad site or with google..

oups....

I have purchased the psu thinking that that would be a easy fit.

 

the manual of the v-dac says 1.3mm.

yeahh and you should look for this exactly :)

 

I ve just read the manual and there it is written that you need 12V and 0.5A with a 1.3mm plug or this here:

But I ve also read that this will be included when buying the V-DAC??

I think so regarding the diameter. Mazbe zou could have a look here also>

The shaft length is as far as I know also not common. The most important would be that you take care of plus and minus. The worst would be that you can destroy your DAC!!!

 

ouuuu..english and german keyboard had changed mysteriously, so z = y

okay, well might as well ask this.

 

could I simply take the original dc output, cut it, and connect it to my new psu cable?

Of course you can but if possible take a multimeter and look before cutting if there is shown +12 or -12V in means of how you connect the multimeter to the wires. Then it would be much more easier to have the right wires to go for the new plug.. I hope it is to understand :)
