Its not preferred. A switching PS is not as clean as a linear adapter. Jan recommends a 200-500mA PS but people run 1-2-3 amp PS anyway.

Just don't get something that puts out more than 13volts measured with a multimeter and you should be OK.

Sorry I missed the switching part. You are right Jan prefers non-switching types.

Zatara - I'm definitely confused. I don't see how the two-pronged adaptaplug "H" adapter can convert the ebay 12V power supply.

Sorry I should have explained my self better:
steps:
1 - cut off old plug on AC adapter
2 - Solder Hobby Power Leads Adaptaplug onto ac adapter leads. Keeping polarity the same. (the first link in my previous post)
3 - Plug in H adapta plug into female adapata plug sockets. Ceter tip +
4 - Plug into MOVE and groove

Oi, unfortunately thats way beyond my knowledge base

Are there any direct 12V power supplies of the size I need available without having to tinker with such things?

made a thread about this with no replies so its coming in here.



I have this sound card in my brothers computer that I gave him. I paid like $220bucks for it.

I gave him a gaming PC for Christmas and turns out he got the ps3 and really doesn't use the computer for games at all.

So I think I could get this sound card from him without him caring one bit. Just wondering how much of a difference it would make on my headphone set up over just using USB to the corda move.

 

[rumatt]

I don't mind that the cord isn't included. But I have to say it's a bit ridiculous that he can't even point us to something we can buy that will work out of the box.

There's really nothing??

 

[killer_deep]

Alright, to reiterate what I've found earlier in the thread, for you Americans, here's a power supply to buy:

with the "H" type adaptaplug:

For Canadians:

I couldn't find the "H" type adaptaplug online, but I'd bet that you could find it at any Source by CC store. Alternative, you can buy it here:

There, hopefully that helps others in my situation that don't know how to do fancy soldering and other such business

He's from Germany and you expect him to know about all possible permutations of line power around the world? Suppose he recommended a third party power supplies and something will happen (3rd party changes suppliers, faulty PS, etc.) Somebody starts holding him to account for the Move being damaged because he recommended it? Think about it; you know this would eventually happen for problems completely outside his control.

I can understand why he doesn't recommend anything.

Actually, Jan's Dutch.

The MOVE is a portable amp designed to be run on batteries or usb power. AC power supply is an extra.

 

[McNubbins]

I didn't want to start another thread at least until I asked in here....

Will the USB interface of the Move be a difficulty if I want to use my PC for music as well as gaming? I like the versatility that USB offers, but I don't want to have to change my audio config every time I switch from listening to music in Foobar to playing some CS:S...

I would like to be able to use the Move (with its handy USB interface) as a replacement for my current AV-710 and LDM+ rig. CPU overhead shouldn't be much of an issue because I've got a fairly honking PC, but would I be able to use my computer and game normally if I purchased this unit?

Once the move is plugged into your usb, all audio will go through it, not your soundcard. I listen to music and play cs, both automatically went through the move.
