Hi all,

I am wishing to build a replacement transformer for my Cambridge Audio
DacMagic DAC (the new one that's just come out). I am unhappy with the
original PSU because it is inefficient and doesn't have a physical
on/off switch so it's constantly drawing a current unless you unplug it,
and I like to save evergy where I can.

So I was wondering whether I could build a new transformer for it based
around a toroidal core transformer, in the hope that it will reduce
power consumption and, if I'm lucky, make the DAC sound better.

Would something like this do?

That is a 75VA transformer, far too large for what you want.

And what makes you think it would be any more efficient that what you
already have?
