Reiki Audio presents its new and further improved SuperSwitch X and Pro X PSU, building on the previous generation.
“The challenge of improving on the multi award-winning Reiki Audio SuperSwitch PRO was always going to be immense. Since its launch in 2023 the SuperSwitch and its PRO PSU have benefited incrementally from improvements including the addition of a grounding post, an increase in chassis thickness from 3mm to 5mm and a respacing of the rear ports to better accommodate larger ethernet cables on the input side.”, the manufacturer states.
According to Reiki Audio, the SuperSwitch X and its accompanying Pro X PSU represent more than just an incremental upgrade:
“As the Roman numeral X suggests, the cases have doubled in thickness from 5mm to 10mm, providing even greater rigidity, almost double the weight and even better shielding from radiated RFI. The SuperSwitch X’s high performance circuitry is now encased in a non-conductive resin for further suppression of micro-vibrations.”
Stable and clean DC power
The fully linear Pro X PSU also features a 10 mm thick enclosure and a 25% larger audio-grade transformer. Reiki elaborates further:
“The fully linear Pro X PSU incorporates a similar 10mm thick case and a 25% larger Audio Grade transformer. Its class-leading custom-designed low impedance rectifier and regulator design uses high quality components to provide the SuperSwitch X with stable, clean, low ripple, low noise DC power. The Pro X’s 10mm aluminium top plate perfectly accommodates the Superswitch X, with one layer of copper and 20mm of aluminium isolating the Superswitch X circuitry from the PSU’s circuitry and transformer.”
High-quality aluminium/silicone feet further contribute to vibration control and stability (four under the Pro X and three under the SuperSwitch X). Thanks to a new partnership with Stack Audio, Reiki Audio also offers an upgrade option to specially commissioned threaded versions of the Auva EQ isolators.
Dimensions are only 10 mm larger in width, height and depth compared to the previous SuperSwitch and PRO, but the weight has almost doubled due to the thicker enclosure:
