Sbooster Ultra MKII Upgrade for the BOTW MKII Linear Power Supply

 

The Sbooster Ultra MKII is designed as an additional upgrade for our BOTW P&P ECO MKI and MKII power supplies. The Sbooster Ultra MKII has to be connected directly to the Sbooster split-current module of the BOTW P&P ECO.

The Sbooster Ultra is designed for audio equipment that is sensitive to residual noise, such as digital to analog converters, music streamers, USB to SPDIF converters, headphone-, pre- and phono amplifiers. A must have for every audiophile!

The Sbooster Ultra is based on active filter technique. The electronics of the Sbooster Ultra need power to operate. Therefore the BOTW P&P ECO power supply has to be set to a higher DC-output Voltage.

Features:

  • The innovative electronic design filters and optimizes the input power and is fine-tuned within the audible reach.
  • The Ultra MKII circuit uses upgraded input and output buffers with a higher capacity and solid conductive polymer capacitors to lower the output ripple and to expand the bandwidth of the filter circuit.
  • The transient response has improved 40-50% compared to the Ultra MKI by adding new parts and lowering the output impedance to a bare minimum. The output circuit is now equipped with an impedance correction filter to achieve improved performance over a wider bandwidth.
  • “Sbooster Decoy”
  • Star-ground design
  • New designed input and output cables

 

"Sbooster Decoy"

We all love to have our audio devices in the metal enclosures, but… also a lot of noise comes from the radiation of the used electronic components, which cannot escape from the metal enclosure and keeps on bouncing within the enclosure. How can you eliminate this noise? Via Sbooster's innovative “electronic baiting container”! The “Sbooster Decoy” is integrated on the Ultra MKII to lure this unwanted noise out of the metal cage of the audio device.

Star-Ground Design

The Ultra MKII is a star-ground design. Almost every component has its own dedicated ground connection. This makes the electronic design more stable and brings ease in the music.

New Designed Input and Output Cables

The cables on the Ultra MKII have only one purpose: to pass on all the benefits of the BOTW P&P ECO and Ultra MKII design without any form of interference to the audio device. The input and output cables have high quality oxygen-free copper for the conductors and are double shielded. The interchangeable DC-connectors are equipped with custom-made gold-plated connector pins.

Worth £99

Verified Buyer
Worth £99. In my system added a little extra bit of detail I haven’t heard previously, a little deeper bass with good control and overall a touch of refinement. Not night and day difference but a nice bonus.

Use it with 12V Lumin u2 mini feeding my Pontus II 12th and UR Unico 90.

My system easily shows the changes in cabling, PSU etc., if yours does too, then most likely, you will keep it.

Nice upgrade to my Sbooster
24 Nov 2022
Verified Buyer
I bought this for my 5v Sbooster MKII to use with a Chord Qutest Dac. It made a nice improvement in clarity and detail and a nice improvement in the low-end transients. Bass notes are quicker with more texture and tone. It also improved the imaging.

It does all the things it claims to do on their website, and I am happy with my purchase. Good Customer Service.
