Looking for some guidance on a new dual mono Buff2 build; i plan on using it as a DAC / PRE with upcoming AC2 or Arduino based controller (thanks to GLT). Due to space constraints in the case i have chosen for the dual mono setup i am considering building a seperate power supply unit.

I plan on using 4 R cores for 2 x PlacidBP, 1 x LCDPS & 1 Placid. Rather than just mounting the transformers in a seperate enclosure which at best would possibly reduce EMI in the DAC case i thought about making DC supply with seperate rectifier boards - http://sjostromaudio.com...ra-fast-rectifier-bridge - and reservoir capacitance in there - similar to the old Naim audio HICAP.

Do you think its worth trying or not worth the effort? Or simplify with a packaged rectifier?

Any input appreciated,

Thanks,

Luke

Thanks Brian,

Is there any potential disadvantage to the transformers being located in a second enclosure with AC interconnect - interconnect <0.5M? I could look at a larger main case to include everything and shield the transformer area if yes..
