Looking into linear power supplies for a Supercapped SEQ. 15v options so far:
Mark Grant's S-Booster Longdog from David at MCRU Baldwin Hifi Custom Hifi
More interested in non-Chinese, due to safety and reliability issues

I am having some production delays on the Supercap PSU, so my apologies to those who are still waiting. I am hoping to have about 10 pieces sent over by courier whilst the rest makes it by sea. A few people have dropped off the waiting list for various reasons, which means that I should have enough to offer to the remaining SEG owners on the waiting list.

A few people have dropped off the waiting list for various reasons, which means that I should have enough to offer to the remaining SEG owners on the waiting list. I’ve bought the SEG from Stan, but couldn’t wait the 4-6 weeks for his PSU. Main reason is that I would very probably have spent my saved pocket money on something else, and would have no money left for the upgrade (£25 a week takes a long time of saving to get to this stage). This will be my last DAC, so want it to be many steps up from what I have currently.

Every piece of the 1st production of the Supercap PSU is now sold. My thanks to everyone who concluded their pre-order. There are still people on the waiting list. They'll be contacted very soon. I have not put any info or pictures on my website so far, but that will be sorted out in due course.

Got my PSU a few days ago, super fast delivery and surprising results, thanks Stan.
Did not expect a big change since I already had a bunch of Tokin caps on the DC feed, well I can happily report I was mistaken. This unassuming box with its 60 Farad worth of caps really does things. Immediately noticed a change in vocals, clear and more realistic, the base tightened up considerably but felt somewhat damped until day 3. Nearly all room mode boom is gone. Day 4 things opened up remarkably, stripping off the veil. So much easier to just close my eyes and experience the music, listen to instruments and sounds as if they were really there. Used to take an effort of imagination.
Excited to see what results your clock adventures bring.

Matches our findings way back when Stan demo'd it at The ASBO. It's great value, isn't it?

One reason why I printed " PSU enhancer" on the front of the case is because it does what it says on the tin, so to speak. It's one of those breakthrough in audio and power supply that could easily be dismissed as foo if it was just spoken about, but never heard. But the amount of music lift that you get from the Dorado surprises even me. To get the same amount of improvements through the purchase of a different amp and speakers would be huge I reckon.

Gotta say, I am loving the effective bit by bit upgrades, ridiculous value for money and keeps my upgrade-itis at bay, keep em coming.
Imagining a scale of change, lets say a pair of good interconnects gets you subtle but noticeable, the Dorado is a major shift of character.
Do let us know when alternate voltages are available, def want to try hooking one up to my router and Digiplayer.
