And have bought an Audience AU24SX AES/EBU cable.

And a Gustard C2 clock cable which is 50Ω to suit the clock.

Is the C2 sinewave or squarewave? If it's sinewave (like the AfterDarks) then clock cable impedance doesn't matter.

Kingwa says the Audio GD DI-20HE performs better with square wave. My unit is 50Ω.
The LHY OCK-1 is 50Ω as standard and has one square wave and two sine wave outputs.
Nowhere could I find any information that the Gustard C2 is either sinewave or squarewave.

Forever looking into the future for possibilities.
Upgrading power supplies is a possibility in 2023.
If my network switch, modem and router already have linear power supplies, is there significant benefit to upgrading to better?
1. Modded/Reclocked Cisco SG110D
Currently running with a Teradak DC30.
Worthwhile to keep this? Or replace with a Plixir or LHY?
2. Vodafone modem and router
Currently using a Aliexpress dual linear power supply (was £100 including shipping).
Keep, or replace with either a Pura Dodo, LHY or Plixir Elite Dual?
Possibilities
Plixir Elite plixirpower.com/products/copy-of-dc-power-supply-for-audio-ethernet-switches-and-routers
plixirpower.com/products/elite-bdc-2a-4a-6a-dual-output
LHY Audio beatechnik.com/product-page/lps80va
Pura Dodo purapowersupplies.com/shop/power-supplies/the-dodo-dual-linear-power-supply/

I would say:
Weiliang class LPSU the minimum recommended
Zero Zone 01-A good quality LPSU
Coherent QP-x supercap LPSU top quality
Just of the ones I know and use.

Any issue with sitting an LPS on its side, on BR Pads?

I am working towards getting my system to 'end game' status.
Certainly getting closer.
And I get some excellent advice/discussion to help to that end.

Considering something for mine. Saw the Plixir, but it’s not cheap. Wondering did you get any benefits from your Alixpress version? I haven't had a chance to evaluate the impact of the dual lps on the modem and router. Certain to have some impact though. I selected the Plixir as a possible because of this review audiobacon.net/best-audiophile-power-supplies/Have first hand experience of a Coherent lps as well. A fantastic piece of kit that has brought the best out of the modded Beresford SEG Dac. In a previous post, Martin mentioned: Weiliang class LPSU the minimum recommended Zero Zone 01-A good quality LPSU I know some have taken Aliexpress lps' to Coherent for upgrades. If shipping wasn't so cost prohibitive, I'd do the same. The dual lps I have may just stay as it is. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001976505481.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802YPhw0RFor the money, I may be better served with buying something else. Have a few possibilities. Plenty of time to decide next steps. That's a 2023 problem. |

I do think that many will be better than an SMPS on the piece of kit, and in the system. |

Price of the Zero Zone is good for a supercap PSU but the £50 shipping is a bit punitive ... Normally shipping is really cheap from Far East.

Any idea if the Zero Zone is available in dual output? Its rear panel has a picture of a second output on it.
