Pulse mini input voltage range

[Phill r]

Can anyone explain why there is such a large input voltage range on the pulse mini? 9-24v..
I use a supply toward the upper end of the range and it sounds better than one at say 12-16v.
Is it purely for convenience to be able to use a range of supplies.?
Thoughts…

It is partly to account for different scenarios. For example, you may have a USB DAC, USB drive for playback, and USB backup drive all connected to a PULSEmini at the same time, each one drawing 5v. This can easily pull another 15+W of current, so the PSU needs to be able to handle this scope of different voltage needs.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks Stephen
