Hi all just signed up to ask a question ,and probably a lot more in future!
Just ordered the Caimen Dac and noticed on reciept that the power supply is £15 extra not complaining about this , but is this an upgrade ,do u get 2 power supplys ? the standard and an upgraded one?
Or is this just the extra u pay for one upgraded power supply?
If u get what i mean!
Many thanks Mark
Hi Mark - quick answer - I don't recall from my invoice seeing a seperate PSU, but it just came with the one. That said, there has been talk/rumour of an improved PSU for the Caiman - so maybe - Stan? (if not, do you have any more info on the upgraded one?)
We usually get asked to do an "intro" post in the Welcome section, if you would be so kind - details of your system, music you like etc - maybe post some pics in the gallery - above all, have fun - like most things in life, you'll get out of the forum what you put in... don't be shy, give it a try! ;)

Ok lads thanks for replies will introduce myself and put some pics on tomorrow .

The power supply is separately mentioned and priced on the invoice, because there are three different types of mains cable versions: US, UK, and EU/UNI. So in order to avoid mistakes when picking the mains cable that the customer has specified in his order, each type has its own part number. And for accounting purposes there has to be a cost price for each item:).

I had one of the first batch of Caimans. The DAC was billed at £200 and the power supply at a notional £2.25. VAT was then added at 15%.
I wonder how much difference the new power supply makes.
It is the same power supply Brian. In the beginning I put the cost of the mains cable on the invoice, but there was an accounting issue that affected the stock count. So the invoice is now broken down into DAC and power supply.
The Caiman is NOT shipping with a new power supply, as suggested by some. Please read up on the DacMagic power supply notice to get an idea why I am very cautious about releasing any new power supply until I am totally satisfied that mine is safe, legal, and beneficial.
When that moment arrives I shall mention it. Until then, I would appreciate it if you guys don't start confusing others with all sorts of rumours and wild guesses.

Well I thought I had missed something and was expecting a big splash when the new one came out.Quote:

Any potential Caiman buyer would be doing the right thing by contacting me for the correct information. Based on what others are writing, if I was thinking of buying a Caiman, I would be confused by now as to what power supply it is shipping with:confused:. The comments are extremely unhelpful to say the least.

Then more clarity in your publicity would help Stan.
I have a 7510 supplied with a power supply in the plugtop - are you calling that the old one?
I have a first batch Caiman with an in line supply that looks like the T13-22X, but as I said I cannot open the "more info" rollover to verify that.
And do we await another? The one you are quite excited about and cannot be released till the health and safety Czar's have prononced.
Is that right?
