Just out of interest what digital connection do you use ie co-ax or optical?
Hi Tony,

I use the coax, interesting you should ask as the second best value for money upgrade I've made after the maplins PSU was to buy one of these...

I bought a couple of these new from a seller on ebay about a month ago, he was selling them for about £9 including postage.

I reckon the guy selling the one in the auction bought one too and is trying to make a profit, but there'll be others.

I kind of blundered into it whilst in this thread...

...if you read it you will see that I bought it inadvertently thinking it was a pair if RCA analogue cables, however thankfully I bought the wrong one and now it's resident between my receiver and DAC (Audiolab 8000DAX).

The combination of the Belkin cable and the Maplins PSU have made a major improvement in sound quality, the depth, soundstage, clarity...and all for less than £30....which is nice!

Probably shows how poor the SB receiver's standard SMPS supply is, along with how poor my old coax cable was too...
