Bel Canto Design, manufacturers of analog and digital source components and amplifiers, latest achievement is their VBS (Virtual Battery Supply) said to offer all the advantages of a 12 volt lead acid battery without the lead, the acid, or the battery! With Bel Canto's 24/192 differential DAC as the source unit of a system, the new VBS power supply ensures clean and uninterrupted power that is free from your electric company's utility transformer and power grid. Every device in an audiophile's home may cause on/off spikes and dips, generate noise that is conducted through your electric wiring, etc. Bel Canto's debut of the VBS1's ($1495) power supply transformer is surrounded by common-mode and differential-mode filtering plus massive energy storage. The result is said to be an extremely quiet, well-regulated and isolated 12 Volt DC power for circuits to feed on. The VBS1 provides over 100dB of isolation and filtration starting below 100 Hz up through the audio band and beyond into the RF region. The extreme isolation and tight regulation of 100 Joules of energy storage plus high current capacity ensure the audio component may provide the utmost in transparency, dynamics, low frequency resolution and image palpability without being held back from power supply anomalies. Bel Canto owners with a DAC3 can send their unit to the company for the power supply upgrade board ($595) that brings it to the new 12 Volt DAC3VB ($2695) specification.
