twlmad Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Hi Does any one know where to get a power supply that converts wall current to 12v AC? It's for a Cambridge dacmagic. Tks!
DIYer Straits Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 AFAIK, there are none. You may have to get someone to do it up for you. The transformers are plentiful though, depending on your current rating. Try Koba in People's Park Centre 3rd floor as might be able to do it up.
alamakazam Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 RS 1.5A enough? http://singapore.rs-online.com/web/p/plug-in-power-supply/4006541/
twlmad Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Tks both for the quick response. Alamakazam, this fits the bill perfectly, 1.5 a is just what is needed, Tks!
DIYer Straits Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 RS 1.5A enough? http://singapore.rs-online.com/web/p/plug-in-power-supply/4006541/ I stand corrected. ;D

It should be 12v DC 2A output. Koba has plenty of such smps. Why don't you buy/make a outboard linear ps? That would be a performance boost. I made one using kit from Koba which is can be configured into 2 different voltage, 9v for a SD card player and 15v for Monica 3 dac. It was very well worth the effort.

Nope. the cambridge dac requires ac input. rectification and regulation is done in the dac gear.
Eric Teh Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Although AC-AC adaptors are rare, I have managed to find some before, primarily used to power computer modems and the like.

I am not 100pct familiar with Cambridge DACMagic but their latest version needs +12v DC 2A, http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/media/dacmagic100_technicalspecifications-1353614774.pdf which is very common among budget gears these days to keep cost down. Anyway, its best for 'twimad' to check and verify him/herself. On this point, if indeed +12V DC, there are many household electrical items running off such walwart adapter. Chances are you may already have one lying around.

Transworld Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 That is the 100 version. The non 100 version requires 12 vac 1500ma. Since is a 12vac dac, just go SLT and grab a 2A 12v transformer and box it up. Less than 10 bucks project.
