Sbooster BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply - 12-13V Rating

 

The Best of Two Worlds Power & Precision ECO MKII linear audio upgrade power supply (BOTW P&P ECO) is the successor of Sbooster's BOTW P&P ECO, which was introduced in the summer of 2015. The BOTW P&P ECO upgrade power supply combines power, precision and efficiency in a unique innovative manner and is the best choice for every audiophile.

With the BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade, the purification of the current starts immediately there where the polluted current enters the upgrade. The dual-stage mains filter and an earth line choke clean the current from high-frequency pollution before the current reaches the transformer. The transformer is a custom-made audio grade transformer with electrostatic shielding and is magnetically shielded.

The electronic design is innovative: it gets 50% more output out of the used electronics and consumes even up to 35% less energy than a conventional design. The BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade concept is so efficient that it consumes only a bit more energy than the standard supplied high efficient, but also highly polluting switch mode adapter. It costs you annually a couple of euro extra on your energy bill for a priceless sound experience.

Finally, at the end of the DC cable, the unique split current system has been placed. The power supply of the BOTW P&P ECO audio upgrade provides the split current system with continuous powerful and clean power, so the electronics can do their job profoundly, which is to buffer the power, so that the power supply becomes very fast, and to filter one last time the voltage and current before they enter the audio device.

This unique upgrade power supply with its large headroom delivers at all times sufficient clean power to the audio device to ensure a stable and continuous performance of the internal processes of the audio device in order to get the best performance out of the audio device.

This combination of power and precision results in “easy” music, a perfect soundstage and a natural detailed sound.

Features:

  • 50% more output current
  • Power saving design
  • 2 characteristics in 1 product - power for high current demanding equipment and precision for noise-sensitive equipment
  • 3 selectable output voltages

About Sbooster

Sbooster is an award-winning company founded by Wiebren Draaijer and Karin Hoks. With a passion for optimising audio and video equipment, Sbooster has gained global recognition for its intelligently designed products.

  • AC Upgrade Power Supplies: Upgrade your standard external power supply with Sbooster's "Best of Two Worlds Power & Precision ECO" (BOTW P&P ECO) power supplies for improved sound and vision.
  • Sbooster Ultra MKII: Sbooster Ultras offer advanced filtering and are available as an optional upgrade for select models, taking the performance to the next level.
  • Tweaks: Sbooster's tweaks further refine your audio and video setup, allowing you to achieve the best possible results.

Why choose Sbooster? Many audio and video enthusiasts focus on various system elements, such as screens, speakers, cables, and amplifiers, but often overlook the importance of the power supply.

Nice bonus
27 Nov 2022
Verified Buyer
I use it with my Lumin u2 mini feeding my UR Unico 90 amp.

It’s not a night-and-day improvement but nice cherry on top of the cake. The most obvious improvement is the better clarity, perhaps because of the better-controlled bass. Nothing can destroy the SQ more than the bass without the control or harsh treble. It fixed the loosened bass. Treble and mids stayed as good as they have been but slightly cleaner.

Compared to the stock internal PSU, it’s a better product, and if your system usually shows the changes in cabling, it will probably show the change with this PSU too.

One of my recent purchases. I am using it with a Lumin U1 Mini.

I can suddenly hear more bass, clarity and soundstage. Go for it!

I have never tried a more expensive linear power supply, but at this price range, it is the best.

Good quality
25 May 2021
Verified Buyer
Bought this for the router mainly to cut down on the RFI / EMI that I had read so much about and was giving me a muggy head in the evenings & to see if it improved performance.

It’s well made & good quality, most importantly the components are shielded and mains cable insulated.

After a week no more muggy head and the room feels ‘cleaner’. Internet speed marginally quicker but depends on the time of day.

Overall very pleased. Recommended !

SBooster for pairing with Mytek Brooklyn Bridge
13 Feb 2021
Verified Buyer
I did some researching on linear power supply to be paired with my Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and came across names such as Mrcu, Uptone, Syntaxx Xtreme and Sbooster. I had managed to also speak to representatives from Mytek in US to understand whether Sbooster would enable me to experience an audible difference. Sbooster did get mentioned in various internet postings and also by Mytek.

I had then made the purchase of the Sbooster and within the first few seconds I already noticed a positive difference through my speakers. I then had immediately tried using my headphones and I am very surprised that there is also a positive difference. Am impressed by the capability of the Sbooster being paired with the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge.

I would also with to mention that I made the purchase through Futureshop UK and their response and follow up was very good and am very pleased by the service provided and the delivery was surprisingly fast for an international delivery. I received the Sbooster within 5 days (note that this is an international delivery). Well done Futureshop and Sbooster.

Brilliant upgrade
14 Nov 2020
Verified Buyer
The Sbooster replaced my Pathos Aurium's standard switchmode power supply. The results were incredible: improved dynamics, noise floor dropped away and soundstage got bigger. Highly recommended upgrade.

I was very happy to find Futureshop online as I have been struggling to find the Sbooster for months (due to lack of a local supplier) and their service was flawless. My unit was shipped the same day I placed my order.

Very impressive - thank you very much Futureshop.

Excellent upgrade for the Lumin U1 mini U1
1 Oct 2020
Verified Buyer
I've replaced the internal power supply with the Sbooster and it was well worth it. It's given a much wider, deeper soundstage. The whole presentation is more coherent and natural sounding. A very strong recommendation to anyone thinking about upgrading their Lumin U1 mini.

Just Do It!!!!!!
21 Jan 2020
Verified Buyer
Just Do It!!!!!!. Upgrade supply to my Melco N100 - needs a couple of weeks or say 200 hours to settle in (on my system anyway - Naim based 272, 555dr, 300dr) - One caveat is I used a spare MCRU power lead 85 and have not tried it with supplied lead as yet. I also purchased the mark 2 dc lead as well, again yet to try it without.

From the off, a lower noise floor and fuller sound although lower bass was a bit muddled for a few days then tightened up and provided a much clearer and natural soundstage, mainly depth and atmosphere rathe rather than width, which improved slightly. A few days in and occasionally sound became a bit compressed but quickly improved. After 200 hours or so the sound became more refined, smoother and with improved timbre. Instrument and voice separation became clearer. The system seems to have stabilised now and on doing the usual removal and back to how it clearly showed the improvement in the above areas mentioned without any loss of emotion or musicality. The lower noise floor has meant that bass lines are more defined, decay times are clearer, vocals crisper and high end remain detailed and natural although a bit smoother/graduated, as some sibilance issues with some artists/recordings have all but disappeared. Lower volume listening has also greatly improved especially in the lower frequencies.
You have 28 days to return the item and as long as you give it a good trial then you can make a very valid comparison within that time frame.

I would say that when I got my N100, I had demoed it along with the N1z2 and N10 on an extended trial over several weeks and this supply brings the fuller sound of the N1z2 and the clarity and dynamics of the N10 at a substantially cost-effective price point, OK not to the same level but it integrated better in my system than the N1z2 which is about £4.2k.

Try it, you have nothing to lose!
