I wish, $280 is just for the amp. How much did you get yours for? They were selling both amp & PSU for around $390+, but the PSU sold out. And i don't really want a bigger stack anyway.

Actually I cancelled my order since they cant promise to sell PSU individually with 230V transformer.

Really? You can still cancel the order after you paid for it?
Btw, the PSU needs to be plugged in to be powered or it has a standalone battery which can be recharged for isolated use as well?

You need power from your wall plug to plug into the PSU. The default transformer inside the PSU is 220V ( China Volatge )

Seller agreed to cancel my order because i wont be able to custom a 230V transformer inside.

Ahh ok, as i'm geared more towards the portable side i prefer to have something which doesn't require me to be tied to a single spot plugged into the wall.
If i'm going to be stationary, i rather get a proper tube amp instead of a portable type.
Btw since you are in MY/SG like me, 220V is fine though?

Btw, does the KAEI hiss/hum or is it dead quiet when your IEM/headphones are plugged in but not playing any tracks?

I live in Bali, Indonesia, it is 220V here (well some time goes up to 223V) the original PSU is fine.
Unless your stated reason 230V is something important then
