In Reply to: RE: Xfinity X1 CATV box DC umbilical project posted by Duster on September 16, 2016 at 20:40:53
I'm not really sure about what improvements (If any for Audio)I might be getting from my X1 box plugged into my PSA PP & then attached to a DVDO Edge(which is also going through the PP).
What I do know is that visually the X1 is just exceptional. I don't know why but I just can't get that excited about "better Audio" from my "Video System". I suppose whatever "Audio" I'm getting from Edge processor>Denon AVR>Focal speakers "works" for me.
Now the Video output I'm getting from my X1>Edge still has me scratching my head a bit. This is rented Xfinity equipment after all (& it's pretty unusual to be impressed by what I expect to be "Consumer Level" in quality)
Does line conditioning compensate for switching power supply defficencies ? I ask this because I wonder if my Equitech 1.5Q BPT is also compensating for the switching power supply my Auraliti PK100 uses ? Beforehand I would occasionally notice some "Dynamic Sags" when listening ,whereas now I don't experience those "sags" anymore. The only thing I hear now is a constantly very low "Dead Quite" Noisefloor (Which just works fantastically with following the inticate scoring of Orchesral Music)(This is in my Audio System;Which why my PSA PP is now placed in my Video System)
(Sorry, I think I went off topic)(I get going with a "flow" of thought & keep going with it)
Follow Ups:
While a nominally isolated or separate filter bank of a power line conditioner can help to mitigate switch-mode power supply noise from polluting the AC delivery to other gear within a system, radiated noise (airborne noise) can still be an issue regardless of effective AC noise filtering. If there were no other choice but to use a switch-mode power supply for an audio application, I would likely use a true isolation transformer for the purpose rather than ordinary AC power line filtering.
Okay,I think I can follow that,& I'll probably investigate changing from the switching power supply that is feeding the X1 coming out of the PSA PP.
As I'm not using the X1 at the same time that I'm listening to my Music System,it might be interesting to see if this might pull "double duty" for my Auraliti PK100 DFP.
My question is "Can I tell what my power requirements for the PK100 would be from the information printed on the power switching transformer it currently is using ?" (Mind you,this is not to say that I honestly can detect any type of "noise" coming from my playback on my Audio System,just a music signal that seems to go deeply back into source material being played; If this can be "improved upon" though I suppose I'll never leave my house)
The stock power supply should have both the voltage and current rating printed on it...
