小型music server 試機會 (20-Aug)

Pls count me in for Aug 20 audition. Will ask some questions & then decide if I can buy set "B".

Tks

Dear KK,

I plan to install later a linear PSU inside the large black case but need to leave space for adding a 2nd 3.5" 2T HDD in future. Can a R-core transformer with enough power [60VA?] plus other parts [rectifier diodes, capacitors, etc] fit in the case?

You mentioned that part of the 12V has to be converted to 5V for certain components inside the server. Can I build a linear PSU with both 12V & 5V for direct connection with better sound?

I have a SMPS 12V 3A & another linear PSU 12v 3A. Can any of these be used for initial testing?

Tks a lot.

In that case, I'd rather use external linear PSU [maybe 12V 2A?] instead of SMPS which usually generates plenty of noise.

Dear KK,

I confirm to use my own external linear PSU 3A 12V [adjustable from about 10V to 18V]. In case of need, I can build another one with 4A or more. So, I don't need the SMPS. Tks.

Dear KK,   

I just need the  regular DVD ROM, won't need Blu-Ray ROM.

Tks.

Dear KK,

As mentioned on Aug 20, I would be out of town for a couple of weeks. I am now still in Canada, arriving at HKG only Sep 5 Monday evening.

Dear KK,

OK, I'll come on Sep 10.

Dear KK,

Other than the external PSU 12V 3A, pls advise what other item I need to bring when I come on Sep 10. I'll also try to find the Windows 7 Home Premium at New Golden Arcade.

Also, I plan to build an external linear PSU for my small Sony DVP-S200P dvdp. Can I bring it & borrow your power-consumption meter to check how many Watts it consumes?
Can you pls buy for me an R-core transformer when you order for the CD-Pro2 & AD1955 DAC class? Will need 12V & 6V sections.

Tks a lot.

Dear KK,

I'll try the SMPS 12V 3A first & then my linear PSU 12V [adjustable up to 15V].

Yes, actually I mentioned to bring the dvdp to measure. After measuring its power consumption, will then decide how many VA is needed for the R-core.

Tks again.

Dear KK,

Sorry, I thought you mean to use a spare SMPS on hand for trial. You don't have to get one for me just for trial. I'll bring one SMPS 12V 3A [from a retired LCD monitor] & a linear PSU 12V 3A.

Do I need to bring any other item? I am totally ignorant on CAS operation.

OK, will try to search power consumption specification from SONY for DVP-S200P.

Tks.

Dear Modi,

Pls check PM.  Tks.

Dear Modi,

Have just sent a reply to your PM. But I'm not sure if it went through. I cannot find the message that I just sent.

Tks.
