When it comes to high audio performance, the quality of the current being supplied to a Hi-Fi device is of paramount importance. Noise in the supply current can be injected into the sound or coupled to critical circuitry, such as the clock of a DAC, inducing less than optimal performance.
A low-noise power supply is therefore essential to squeeze the last drop of sound quality out of the DAC or amplifier. Of course, a low-noise design requires component quality, board space, and cost beyond what is acceptable in non-exorbitantly expensive designs.
That’s why M2Tech offers the Van der Graaf: users who have purchased the Young DSD, Marley or Joplin MkII can later allocate some of their budget to boost the performance of their equipment by adding the Van der Graaf.
Extremely easy to use, its benefits range from increased clock stability in DACs (with relative soundstage sharpness and detail rendering) to a darker background because of the smaller noise bed.
The Van Der Graaf has four outputs: two single voltage and two triple voltage. The former are suitable for the Young DSD and the Joplin MkII, the latter for the Marley.
The Van der Graaf remembers the order used by the user to activate the four outputs: when it turns off, it follows the reverse order and remembers the activation order when it next turns on.
