OK. I finally purchased the Pyramid PSU which is the next model up of the PS3KX (3 amp instead of 2.5 amp) since that is the lowest Pyramid model I can get in Canada. Shipping PS3KX from US would not be much cheaper than buying this model locally.   I also switched it with the wall wart for...

Honestly, do you hear any improvement by replacing the wall-wart with the Pyramid PSU apart from placebo effects? I read that some users did not hear any difference. Not sure if it is worth to buy the Pyramid.   Mike   Quote:

Jat,   I know what you meant since I tried Pioneer Elite receiver before. I loved its HT performance but it turned out not to be my cup of tea on stereo sound. I eventually ended up with Harmon Kardon AVR2600 which has a thicker and tube-like sound much more suit to my taste. It also seems...

I found a couple of stores in Toronto selling the Pyramid 13.8VDC power supply although it is more expensive than the US - almost double the price. Shipping it from the US would be even more expensive because of shipping charges, duty etc. I am unsure if this PSU worth the money and how much it...

My V-DAC arrived yesterday and I've hooked it up via coaxial to my media server. Flac files sound great except that the highs & mids are a bit thin and laid back. I hope these will improve after it ran in for some 40-50 hours as others suggested. However, my server PC runs on Win 7 64bits can...

Can anyone share their experience of using power supplies other than the stock PSU for V-Dac? In theory, a regulated PSU should perform better (runs cooler and provide steadier power) but how does that impact on the sound quality of the V-dac and is it worth for the upgrade. We are looking at...

Thanks for the information.   Did you have experience using this power pack? Its price is about the same as the V-PSU specifically designed for V-dac. Not sure if it would be better just get the V-PSU instead.  

Can any current v-dac owner tells me if the stock power supply have variable voltage input, such as 110V ~ 240V or it has fixed voltage for specific regions. I am considering to order it directly from the UK.   Thanks   Mike

Hi guys,   I am new to the forum and interested to buy the v-dac for my HTPC server. Since there is no distributor for this product in Canada, can anyone suggest a cheaper way to source it from UK directly? I know that I may have to pay customer duty and sales tax buying it from the US but...
