Hello folks
Not entirely sure how to phrase my question, but see if you can follow along . . .
. . . I've had an M1 (V2) DAC for a while now and have just got my hands on a Triple X170 power supply (along with the X-T100 amp). I seem to remember reading the internal power supply of the M1 isn't the greatest and am wondering what the practicalities of modding both it and the X170 to work with each other might be. An auction on eBay led me to these folks who can modify the M1 to take an onboard power supply but I've not seen anyone do anything similar to what I'm considering anywhere else.
The X170 has an output for the previous generation DAC (X-DAC V8), so I'm kinda hoping MF have employed similar architecture (and therefore similar power requirements) across the models. Unfortunately it's impossible for me to tell since in typical MF fashion, schematics and service info is unavailable.
Thoughts and/or ideas/suggestions as to where to start would be very helpful.
