As stated I have moved away from battery power to supercapacitor power for my audio devices & am starting a tour of both the standalone supercap PS (SUPER-PS) & supercap powered audio devices (ISO-HUB, ISO-DAC & ISO-SPDIF).
This thread is solely about the Supercap PS - please post your interest & eventually your impressions of the SUPER-PS here.
The initial model is outputs 5V PS (or any voltage down from this but only at factory) & this is what I'm ready to tour.
There will be another, more expensive, model which will have a max of 20V output & will be adjustable by the user to any voltage down from this. This will incorporate a screen showing voltage selected charging voltage & supercapacitor output voltage. Voltage will be selected via a knob or up/down touch switches.
The difference between battery power & supercapacitor power is detailed on my webpage here
Prices & introductory offers will be on my website soon
I use 350Farad Maxwell/Nesscap supercapacitors & the important audible difference between these & other supercapacitor PSes is that the power is direct from the supercapacitors, not from a voltage regulator after the supercapacitors. I discovered this was audibly significant when I first started using battery power internally to power my audio devices. The voltage regulators (yes, even the best LT3045) seem to introduce some stability or dynamic noise issues in their power output which the direct batteries & direct supercapacitors don't.
As I said, this applies to audio devices internally powered in this way - how this translates to external PS powering a device in the audio chain will depend on the internal regulators within the device & its function in the audio chain. I & others have experienced improvements in many devices when powered with my battery or supercap power. It will be interesting to see any impressions which may be posted here.
We can discuss these matters here if people wish?
I have a list of names submitted already in anticipation of the supercap ISO-DAC tour

These same people might be interested in auditioning the supercap PS?
Please indicate interest or not in this initial 5V supercap PS tour.
