Topic: What's the size of DC plug of power adapter?

I want to buy a power adapter repalcement for ADI2DAC, but I don't know the size of DC plug.

Lantrancy,

Welcome to the Forum! 

I must ask however, why the need for an Aftermarket Power Supply?

The RME supplied unit is fully responsible for the ADI-2s exemplary Specifications regarding PS issues.   I see no reason to use anything else...barring an emergency of some sort.

Enjoy your ADI-2 DAC as delivered.  It is a Phenomenal piece of Engineering!

Hi Lantracy,

Here’s a UK link to an RME power supply with a locking connector.

I would love to find this type of connector in the USA. The only places I've found that will ship these charge ~$35 USD to ship a single connector.

Edit: I might have actually found one finally!

I can confirm now that the "Twist Lock DC Coaxial Power Plug 2.1 x 5.5mm" available in the USA at Parts Express are the correct type of locking DC power plug. To my knowledge, this is the first time they've been available to consumers domestically (I've looked a few times over the past 2-3 years and never found any).

I swapped the connector at the end of the cable I was using for my Babyface Pro FS and now it's nicely locked in place.
