    I guess the 30 day return policy is the best sales pitch for this product.

    For what its worth, I am a very happpy camper with the BotW psu.

    I find your comment (especially the "other reasons" part) on the comments on this product striking:

    I guess that the negative comments on some forums are from people that have never tried or have other reasons
    Btw Mark, I preferred yor former avatar but that's my personal opinion again.

    If you think you know the answer already, you're not really searching

    So, do you have the under £30 one, or the over £100 one ?

    Just the £30 Sbooster Craig.

    I have very revealing speakers but in my system the idea that this device may make an audible difference was absurd - it made a dramatic change. Whether you prefer the effect is another matter and could depend on your system and preferred presentation.

    It certainly cleans up your soundstage and tightens everything up. It's easier to hear into the mix, bass is stronger, more driven and punchy but the higher frequencies get curtailed a bit and the soundstage seems smaller, more concentrated.

    It's a different version of very good!

    Thanks for that S&V (glad your other half isn't called anything beginning with M! )

    As it is, my Theta dac does all the things you mention the SBooster does, except it doesn't mess around with the top end, which to me is important.........

    PS, just re read your post, you mention soundstage twice, one in a good light, the other not so good, can you clarify how it does two different things to it?

    I got the 130€ sBooster the other day. I had very few expectations, to be honest. Well, I was wrong.
    I think this is an important upgrade, a no-brainer.

    I have the same opinion as John on this: http://www.digitalaudionews.net.au/2011/06/06/sbooster-best-worlds-psu-squeezebox-review/

    I have a good home made linear supply Dimitri,so I am not expecting too much improvement.

    That's probably the best attitude. The surprise will be bigger that way.

    I am very pleased with the BotW (a.k.a. the "130 euro SBooster") compared to the standard psu that came with my Slimdevices Squeezebox and can't wait for the 15V version Squeeze-upgrade have announced'. I'll buy it to feed my Caiman.

    I might try one of these, I've just changed from a Linn Majik DS to a modified Nuforce dac9.
    There wasn't too much difference when I tried the Nuforce dac against the Linn DS.....but that was using the Linn DS as the transport.

    At the moment I'm using a slim devices Classic as the front end.....and it's not as good as using the Linn DS.......the only thing that it can be is a poor power supply on the slim devices, I suppose.

    I've got a squeezebox touch on order though.
