    Is a 150w voltage converter enough for a DAC?

    Does anyone own a 220V/230V DAC and paired it with a 150w voltage converter before? I have acquired a DAC (Audio Exklusiv P 0.8) with a European plug and it is 230V and I am wondering if a 150w voltage converter is enough for it. Thanks in advance.
