Hi, I'm a happy user of Beocreate and would like to try enhancing it's sound by adopting a linear power, since many advise that I SHOULD use linear power for anything digital (ie. dac or amp, and Beo obviously is both !) for better sound quality ! 

Question is which voltage is better for it, 18V or 24V. The model I'm looking at is 120W linear power, and I see that the current supplied switching adaptor is 18V/3.3A 60W max and the recommendation is 12-24V.

Look forward to hearing your advise on this.

 

Cheers,

  We do not recommend this at all. HiFiBerry boards are designed to provide a clean power to all parts. Have a look at this blog post:

  Oukei, many thanks for the advise.

  Your recommendation seems to confirm my thought on the power adaptors or cables. When there's some audition for fancy cables, I realized that the only two person who believe in this 'magic' thing are the one who sold it and the one who paid for it... The others, including me, just don't find those 'magic' thing, other than the slight change in sound characteristics which of course does not necessarily mean the 'improvement' !

  Cheers,
