Hi Andy, the part number is L54BR if you type that in on the Maplin site, it comes up.

It is an ac psu.

Has noone tried something else instead of the maplin or Russ Andrews??

A high grade linear supply should be better in theory i think.

Something like the VAC-1 from CI Audio for example... http://www.ciaudio.com/

It's 159$ this one but looks more solid.

Mr Mucus:Maplin's do one for £15. I couldnt tell the difference first off sound wise, it certainly runs a lot cooler than the oe one. After a few days listening it has made a difference, clearer somehow. Glad i got this especially as it's £84 cheaper than the one from Mr Andrew's. Cheers all.

I was about to order the maplin to try it but i have seen it delivers 3A and the original psu only delivers half, 1.5A!

Could this do harm to the dac?

Also, does this come with a 2 pin? As it will be used in Belgium and i don't want a UK pin

Can't advise about the pin count but as already said, it wont do any harm. The unit will only take what it needs. Having a decent overhead like that is always a good thing. The PSU will be working well within its limits and will also (usually) run cooler
