Tintinabulum 56 Posted January 26 Not really the kind of thing that sits around unused but you never know! Either type is fine. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itskeith 9 Posted January 26 (edited) Just seen one over on pfm! Not sure about the 'PSU Interface' but just thought i'd mention it in case it was what you are looking for. Edited January 26 by itskeith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tintinabulum 56 Posted January 27 (edited) Thanks, looking at the chat there now. There's mention of Teddy Pardo but they just sell the board with a PS, I'm just after the board and play with my own PSs, batteries etc. Edited January 28 by Tintinabulum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supapeet 3 Posted February 4 Quick question, I have a 2i and would be interested in this upgrade. I bypass the dac in the 2i and use a topping d90 dac. Would it still be worth getting the upgraded power supply and would I notice a difference in sound quality? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The power upgrade will make a huge difference. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't read from the beginning, you'll lose the will to live... dive in towards the end. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the D90 5V? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supapeet 3 Posted February 4 Thanks for the help. The D90 is a standard kettle power lead. Would that be 230 v?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supapeet 3 Posted February 4 No just the kettle lead in the Topping D90 MQA. I have Tidal and stream Hi Fi at 19.99 a month. I have just started using the Tidal App on my iPad to go Tidal Connect into the Node rather than use the Node interface and then into the DAC and it sounds great.I also use USB direct from the iPad into the DAC which isn’t as convenient but is an improvement in sound quality as some of the tracks are higher resolution going via USB and bypassing the NodeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A linear PSU on your Node would be a great performance boost. Check ou the "pimped" thread. A card from Pawel or Fidelity and an Allo Shanti or SBooster 5v PSU would put a smile on your face. This converation will fizzle out in the ads section so best to get yourself over to the "pimped" thread or start another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
