Hello, I just read that the X8 has a variable LPS. I don't really get what it does? On pictures the unit has a toroidal transformer for +-14.2 V AC which is converted to+15V and. -15V DC for the positive and negative analog audio rails. In addition there seems to be another LPS for the 12V DC digital rail. The lower voltages for the digital components are then generated with step down converters? What does the "adjustable dual analog voltage design (12/15V)" do? Is that something the user can select, or does the unit automatically switch the voltage depending on HP gain, Impedance, etc? As linear regulators are used, isn't there much heat dissipation depending on the voltage setting and load? Or does it just mean: One LPS for analog +-15V, one LPS for 12V digital with step down converters? Thank you for a clarification.
The analog power supply provides two selectable output voltages, 12V and 15V, achieved through a linear voltage regulation circuit. When operating in high gain mode, the analog power supply outputs 15V. Meanwhile, the digital power supply remains constant at 12V.
