Supercap Power Supply question.

Posted by: vintageaxeman on 26 February 2018

Can a single Supercap be 'shared' so that it powers both a Naim DAC a Superline? Clearly both are not required to be USED at the same time....

No, a Supercap can only be used to power one item at a time.  In this case, the Supercap would used on the Superline (with appropriate Burndy).

By the way, the Naim DAC cannot use a Supercap, rather an XP5xs, XPS2, or 555PS.

I thought I had used a supercap to power a NAC52 and a SNAXO in the past...

I certainly hope not (at the same time)!

While I waited for the right Burndy I tried powering my superline from the supercap via a Snaic, I preferd AUX2(552) to that setup. The Burndy when it arrived was another matter entirely.

Ah well.  Looks like my - erm - thing - er, what's it - memory! is going.
