I am currently using a Sean Jacobs (Custom HiFi Cables) DC3 LPS 15v power supply to good effect with the Mscaler. I am also trialing a much cheaper medical grade 15v SMPS to quite good effect with the Mscaler.
Do not EVER use a supply with greater than 15v because you will blow the over voltage device in the Mscaler. I also suggest not trusting suppliers to tell the truth about the output voltage of their after market supplies, some are over voltage. Check them before use.
Better to use 12v (HMS works with 12v) rather than risk blowing your mscaler.
Many use a PowerAdd PilotPro2 battery on its 12v setting (its 16v would blow the Mscaler).
Nick, 16V out of the PP2 does not blow the M Scaler, but it does void warranty. So I would still not recommend using the 16V setting, of course. A 15V DXP-1A5S from ldovr.com, powered by the PP2 with 16V, was by far the best power supply which I came across for the MScaler. Very dynamic sound with quiet background and obviously very low noise. The biggest step forward in terms of sound quality after the Opto DX and the Wave Stream cable, imo.
