'Analog Dinosaur' succumbs to the joys of FBA : enter Raspberry Pi 2/IQ-Audio DAC+!!

I got it from Amazon I do believe. I bought 2 so have 1 spare if you need one. PM me your address and I will send it to you.

Cheers Guy, PM sent.

I also made myself a custom case for it that matches the case of the power supply - why? - cause I thought it would look cool :)

I bought the case and a bunch of Neutrik connectors and cut out a few holes to fit them. Very pleased with how is looks :)

Here are some pics:

Hi Guy,

Love that! Maybe I'm missing it, but what's inside the smallest box? The biggest box houses the RRi, right? And the next biggest one is the PSU? So what's inside the little box? :)

Where did you get the cases from?

Marco.

Second stage discrete regulator.

Ah, I see. So what is that designed to do, Nick? Also, how does it's function impact on SQ? :)

Marco.

All the two box MCRU/LDA supply’s are two stage regulators. Large box contains transformer and first stage off the shelf three pin reg, then the small box contains a low noise discreet regulator for final regulation with the advantage of being close to the load so can do a better job of regulation. As for the effect on the Pi, probably the same as most regulated supplies. Seems to help most things they supply. Originally the touch and Techy, then a variation of the design for the m-dac. We sell them for all sorts now. I can pull out the original reviews from a few years ago if you like.

Yeah, please Nick, that would be interesting to read :)

Marco.

Put the kettle on, you'll get nowhere without a brew on.

Are you normally a Windows or Mac user?

Do you have access to a computer with an SD card reader on it?
