It could also be interesting to hear about TT2 owners who use 3rd party psu like:
Sbooster
Farad3

Myself and subsequently two more NZ headphone nuts(small country, we know each other) purchased a MCRU linear power supply for the TT2 and the improvement is obvious…or more hyperbole…staggering.

I don’t discount the potential impacts of power supplies in some cases and use an upgraded power supply on my streamer. However, since the TT2 effectively runs off internal super capacitors and the power supply is simply charging the capacitors from which all the actual components run, I’m struggling to understand how an upgraded PS impacts TT2 sound? Others swear by impacts of upgraded PS for the Chord Qutest for example but not the TT2 due to said super capacitors.

I hear what you are saying but for us it was obvious. Try yourself if possible.

+1 on MCRU. Good PSU and relatively cheap

That’s the one.

“We offer 2 versions of the power supply, standard and up-graded. The standard ships with a basic power lead and standard DC cable, the up-graded version ships with a Furutech rhodium plated IEC inlet, Hi-Fi Tuning audiophile fuse, UP-OCC cabling for the dc cable and an IsoTek Systems EVO3 Initium power cord to suit your country”

Last part with power cord. Is that something I can choose, or do I have to write them?

When ordering you have the option to go for the upgraded version and I didn’t regret it.

I have used a Farad3 and it made a nice SQ boost to the TT2.

I also have two MCRU linear power, but because of wrong output voltage I have not used them with TT2. One MCRU I use now with my Fiio 17 with good result.

You didnt order the 15V or faulty?

Correct, I didn't order 15V MCRUs as I bought them long before getting TT2.

Has anyone had success pairring the TT2 with a good headphone amp?

Ferrum
Enleum
Flux
Niimbus
iFi
