It’s quite a mouthful, but the name Network Acoustics Origin Streaming Power Supply makes it crystal clear what it’s all about.
As the name suggests, this new device from British manufacturer Network Acoustics is a DC power supply specifically designed for streaming applications. It can be used to upgrade the power supply of a streamer. Or power network switches and other intermediate network devices with it.
Internally, it uses a switching power supply architecture. However, the designers emphasize that the build is refined to the point where it can easily compete with—if not outperform—linear or even battery-based power supplies. To achieve this, the unit employs a four-stage filtering system. And that’s active from the AC mains input all the way to the DC output.
Inside, you’ll find Mundorf Mcap Supreme EVO Silver/Gold capacitors, and the current is conducted through solid silver wiring, minimizing resistance. The aluminum chassis is grounded via the power connector, which helps reduce interference and noise even further.
Choices, choices…
You can choose between two versions of the Network Acoustics Origin Streaming Power Supply:
- 12V / 3A
- 5V / 3.5A
Each unit comes with a DC reference cable, which can be configured with either a 2.1 mm or 2.5 mm barrel plug, depending on your needs.
The price? €2,945. A 60-day money-back guarantee is also offered—just in case it doesn’t meet your expectations.
