I bought a Yulong DAC which takes a 220-240v input voltage. However the power cable they gave me terminates in an American style nema 5 plug and it says 125v~ on it. I've got it plugged into a 220v Chinese socket using an adaptor and it seems to be working fine (I'll be returning home to Sydney soon where the power is 240v), I just assumed that since the device itself was rated to work at this voltage the cable wouldn't matter.
At first I thought that maybe they gave me the American (110v) version of the Yulong by accident, but if that was the case I would've blown it up by now right?
I'm just using the cheap cable provided with the Yulong at the moment, but the store also gifted me a fancy looking audiophile cable with these plugs:
Oyaide Power Plug P-029 by Revolution Power
OYAIDE C-029 IEC Brass Connector by Revolution Power
These also both say 125v on them, and I'd use them but they look like they have some fancy circuitry in them that may actually be affected by the wrong voltage.
So basically I'm wondering if everything is OK with my current setup, and should I use the better quality cable I was given?
