Sean Jacobs DC4 LPS + Custom Built Server (Nenon design) View Classified I am selling my DIY server and the Sean Jacobs LPS that powers every component of the server. The Sean Jacobs DC4 was custom built for this application. It was built unlike any other DC4. Here are the 4 rails for this build and what they power: 1. ATX/Motherboard - 20V (5A) (overspecced as I believe 19V would be sufficient). 2. EPS/CPU - 12V (10A) 3. Jcat Femto Net card - 5V (5A) ( CX Filter will limit it to 2A, but removing jumpers will allow 5A) 4. Pink Faun OCXO Ultra Clock USB card - 5V (5A) (CX Filter here as well). The server itself has the following components: 1 - Motherboard - ASUS ROG Crosshair VII Hero 2 - CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700 8-Core 3.6GHz 3 - RAM - 2 x 4 GB Apacer D31.23185S.001 4 - Case - HD Plex H5 5 - OS M.2 - Intel Optane m.2 32 GB 6 - Network Card - JCat Net Card Femto 7 - Cables - (Ghent audio): LPS to DC-ATX; LPS to CPU; 24 pin ATX 8 - DC-ATX - HDPlex 800W DC-ATX 9 - USB Bridge - Pink Faun with Ultra Ocxo clock 10. 800W DC-DC Converter 11. All Nenon internal cabling All parts cost north of $12000. I have sold my audio system and I haven't used these devices since February of last year Buyer pays shipping. I will cover the paypal costs. CONUS only.

I went from LPS 1.0 to 1.2 and then Sonore Signature LPS, then to Farads which were better. I replaced 4 Farads with a DC3 and that was also an improvement. I have never compared anything else to a DC since my DC4 is custom configured to power my audio server, and that would be an impossible comparison to make.

View Classified Sean Jacobs DC3 - $2600 Up for sale is my Sean Jacobs DC3 LPS Here are the specs: Description Sean Jacobs DC3 4 rail custom built Linear Power Supply Custom 600VA transformer, Mundorf PSU capacitors, Neotech OCC internal DC wiring, Earth terminal, white internal LED, 4xXLR output sockets with labelled DC outputs at: 12V 5A (current boost module), 12V 5A (current boost module), 12V 3A (standard regulator module) 12V 3A (standard regulator module) Output voltages variable (each output has a built in potentiometer) This DC3 was built in September 2019, and build cost was £2,600. I am the second owner and have used it to power a Ubiquiti fiber router, 2 x modded Buffalo Switches, Synology 2 bay NAS. It brought a significant improvement to my previous setup where I used Farad Super 3s to power my network components. I am local to Sean Jacob's technician and he will be able to adjust the voltages on the rails to suit your needs before shipping out to you - I understand this is something that you can do yourself by opening the lid and making some adjustments easily. Optional items are 4 of Nenon's custom Mundorf silver-gold XLR DC cables @ 1foot @2.1mm termination. I will add these for $225 each. I also have footers that I can leave on the DC3 for $200. All in, price is $3650. If you are interested in individual cables, please contact me. Pricing is firm as I am not in a hurry to sell. Buyer to cover shipping and PayPal. Image here is from the former owner's listing. I can provide more at potential buyer's request. Seller adamaley Date 01/23/21 Price 2,600.00 USD Category Power Supplies / Power Products

I'm not sure I can categorize the time spent tweaking, researching, and tuning as a cost. For me, this is a hobby - all that time is fun and reveals more of the vast landscape the hobby has to offer me. If I wasn't researching, tuning to directly benefit my system, I would be spending that time reading audio blogs and rabbit holing for no concrete benefit but it will still be as enjoyable.
