Hi everyone I wanted to know is this separate power supply compatible with the dac light harmonic geek pulse please?

and if so take which model which voltage?

That DAC requires 12 volts DC, however it only draws 650-950ma of current depending on the sample rate being played. So a 1 amp PSU will actually work, and a 2 amp PSU would provide a very safe margin for continuous operation.

The Keces P8 is huge overkill in that regard, it can deliver 8 amps of current, you don't need such a high current PSU for that DAC.

Keces power supplies are well made, as long as you choose 12 v at least 2 A you should be covered. I would pick multiple voltage outputs, that would be useful if you add new equipments with different voltages in the future.

Hi I just received the keces p8, the difference is just huge, the sound seems much more tangible the accuracy is just amazing

and the most unexpected I am on monitoring speakers, the sound seemed tiring and analytical

this is literally the opposite I am shocked, the geek pulse lps power supply gave me a lot, but it is very far from the keces p8

it's crazy how just a power supply can transform a system, sorry for my english but i am french

Hello! Nice to hear that its working.

Tiring since its more tangible and "accurate" as you say. Please give more time to let your ears adapt to the new sound.

 

[Thomas91170]

yep it's really cool especially since in hifi the changes are of the order of a few % or even almost not at all sometimes, but with the power supplies I often find the evolution more obvious, it's a pleasure

I may have expressed myself badly


I said that on the contrary the sound is not at all tiring with the keces p8 unlike before, it is much softer and less analytical

Don't know where to post this but...

I decided to buy and send to my teenage niece a Coach shoulder bag. She was very happy obviously, first serious bag for her.

Along with the bag, I sent my LH Stella w/c just picking dust..."Hey sending my earphones that's just picking up dust!" I say...

Today she received the package and saw the box...

Niece: "Hmmm what is this.? Why it is boxed and presented nicely?...Let me check what it is in the internet!" (followed Amazon link)...Saw the price and her jaw dropped...Whoa!

I really got to be one of the last people with a functioning Geek Pulse (SFI). It sounds good, but it's buggy as all hell. But, when you know how to deal with its quirks, it works well enough.

I‘m still using an xfi. Everything works except the headphone outputs. I use it as my dac from my computer to some powered monitors.

Wish I'd at least gotten a Stella....

 

[savaloco]

Infinity with LPS and XFI both working and used almost daily... XFI less so. I'm running mine through a THX789 to power HE560s.

Satisfied...for now. Headphones will be my next upgrade assuming both DACs keep working.

 

[MAPgeekdad]

Same here.

 

[MAPgeekdad]

XFI and Infinity each powered by an LPS.

XFI usb input from my desktop PC setup with JRiver.

Infinity usb in from JRiver on a laptop, out to my main setup, XLR to W4S preamp and amps. Also feeding CD transport digital coax to the Dac.

Infinity still works as well for me. The Source SE is a POS though, won't reconoize the Infinity at all and is mostly useless. Been a dust collector since I got it.

Should of exchanged that when I had the chance. The Stella and Oscar are the only good things they ever made even if the Stella looks like cheap crap

Xfi and lps working, volume control is dodgy though. Use it fixed with an allegri + pre . Would an rme adi be an upgrade on the xfi
