RE: Who else is using ultracaps ?

Interesting, I guess I haven't been following this "trend" very closely...

In the microRendu thread, in one of my usual OT branches, I called the PS for the Hydra Z (a USB converter) weird etc., because it seemed to me, by how it was described, as some kind of "electronic battery". It seems to function exactly how you described.

I would not mind this kind of PS to power gadgets. I am not sure how it would be for DACs though. Battery-powered DACs sound very dry to me, quiet to be sure, but they seem to lack some of the sonic dynamics they have when powered by a more "flexible" supply. But this ultra-cap supply may be somewhere in-between, offer the good part without (to me) the downside. I'll have to try one, PSs are so important, not worth taking a chance I might be missing a good thing...
