No... just an overly enthusiastic consumer regurgitating "propaganda" that further justifies and reinforces a rather costly investment.

I suppose I should watch my fingers next time? Ouch!

I'd like to know what the output voltage specs of the supplied wallwart is? I can't find the specs anywhere. I know the VAC-1's specs are "14VAC @ 1.44 Amps" and it says it is "high current".

So presumably the supplied stock wallwart is of a lower current? And that's the biggest factor contributing to the "inferior" sound, am I right?

I didn't receive the wallwart with my VDA-2 so I just bought a wallwart with the 14VAC/1.44 Amps specs. I can't detect any noise/interference from the power supply. VDA-2 seems to pair very nicely with my Graham Slee Novo + AKG k701s by the way, especially for classical.

EDIT: Typo.
