MSB Discrete DAC Power Supply Placement

[JFRMusic]

Those of you who own a MSB Discrete DAC do you place the power supplies on top of the DAC? If not where do you place them? Vince at MSB didn’t recommend placing on top due to possible noise issues affecting the DAC yet in their other more expensive models the DACs are stacked on top the their supplies. And photos tend to show the supplies on top of the DAC. What has been your experience?

I don't either. I have 2 Discrete PSUs and I place them below on a separate platform.

I haven't received my DAC yet. Can you tell me how long is the connecting power cable from the supply to the DAC?

The supplied umbilicals are less than 1.2m in length - so not very long.

1.2m is long enough for my needs. I though they might be 18". Thanks.
