...makes little sense with a $249 DAC, at least for me. I mostly included the Audio Bacon link because the original poster was looking for reviews, albeit of the Chinese supplies, apparently the ones offered on ebay. Sometimes reading reviews, even if it exceeds my price range, can give me ideas to go on.
"a $70 iFi seems to do just fine with my Geshelli J2/S" My question to you is whether the iFi supply was an improvement over the Geshelli switch mode supply included with it.
Another Asylum Inmate I talk to introduced me to the Geshelli J2 DAC. He bought one of the Chinese ebay 12 VDC supplies (sorry I don't remember the seller) and also an upgraded DC umbilical cable. His reported results (over the supplied SMPS), along with my concerns regarding internal parts, as stated in my other post, didn't cause me to want to rush off to buy one.
