“It Changes Everything"
Why Industry Experts Trust Sbooster at the Source
At Sbooster, our mission has always been simple: to help you extract the maximum performance from your audio equipment by upgrading the low-cost external SMPS used in your system. We know what our linear power supplies can do, but it is always a special moment when a highly respected high-end audio manufacturer experiences the Sbooster effect on their own creations.
Recently, GeerFab Audio decided to pair their award winning D.BOB (Digital BreakOut Box) with our BOTW P&P ECO MKII 12-13V power supply. The D.BOB is an innovative device designed to extract high-resolution audio from physical discs, like SACDs, and send it as a bit-perfect digital signal to an external DAC.
When they replaced the standard power supply with an Sbooster, the initial message we received was short but powerful:
"The results were astonishing."
But GeerFab didn't stop there. They perfectly summarized exactly why our power supplies make such a profound difference in a high-end system. Erice Geer wrote to us:
"Which brings me to this: the Sbooster is positioned at the beginning of the audio chain, before any DAC, preamp, amp or speakers. It significantly upgrades what is already perhaps the best front end a stereo can have. I know vinyl, I know CDs, I know streaming and, with an external DAC via the D.BOB, I know that SACD is the best source for the best results. And with the Sbooster handing the D.BOB that pure DC power, well, it changes everything. The world needs to know."
The Crucial First Step in the Audio Chain GeerFab hits the nail on the head. The source component is the absolute foundation of your audio system. If noise, jitter, or interference is introduced in the chain due to a standard switch-mode power supply, it is amplified and revealed by the speakers. By providing pure, highly filtered, and ultra-stable power at the source, you lower the noise floor, reveal micro-details, and create a pitch-black background for the music to shine through.
A Pattern of Excellence: From Digital to Analog GeerFab’s experience with their digital source mirrors the feedback we’ve received on the analog side of the spectrum. A few years ago, at the High-End audio show in Munich, renowned loudspeaker and turntable manufacturer ELAC prominently featured our power supply with one of their turntables. To demonstrate the maximum potential of their beautiful Miracord Anniversary turntable, they chose to power it with our BOTW P&P ECO 18-19V (fitted with a special connector plug).
When industry experts like GeerFab and ELAC choose to combine their reference-level products with Sbooster power supplies to show the world what their gear can really do, it confirms everything we stand for. Whether you are spinning vinyl or extracting high-res digital audio, pure power at the source is the key to audio nirvana.
