ZenMini MK3 SSD Specifications

[Harry59]

What are the specs of the ZenMini MK3 SSD? I'm especcially interested in powerconsuption when the unit is in use and when in stand-by. The manual that came with the player doesn't give any information about technical specifications. I want to replace the standard (switching?) power supply unit that came with the player to further improve it's sound quality. The logical thing to do is to buy the Innuos LPSU, but that's out of my budget range. So I'm thinking of buying the FiiO PL50 or the iFi Power Elite. But are these compatible? They have a maximum output power of 15V / 2A. Will this do? Please help! Thanks, Harry

Hi Harry, when it comes to third party power supplies these are always 'YMMV' and it's very difficult to know how well they will work, if at all.
Keep in mind from a power consumption point of view, the optical drive, RAM, processor etc also need to be factored in, as well as any connected USB devices connected that may be drawing a 5v.
In any case, we do list the power consumption on our website:


So I would say a 15V/2A should be sufficient since that should give up to a max of 30W.

Thanks for your reply and clear explanation.
