KECES DC-115 5V is the long awaited answer to the inadequate wall wart power supply. Does your audio setup have equipments that uses those blocky wall wart power supply, this IS the perfect replacement.


KECES DC-115 5V is a high performance dual output power supply with two calibrated voltage setting. It allows you to run one equipment that uses either 12 or 15 volt DC power and one equipment that uses 5 volts DC power. Both output is capable of up to 2 Amps of very clean DC power.

With a lot of newer audio equipments using wall wart for power, and the questionable quality of the power from wall warts, KECES DC-115 is a great solution for upgrading your existing wall wart powered equipments. Not only will this improve the quality and quantity of the power delivered to your equipments, but it will not inject massive amount noise into your AC mains. For example, some network audio player's switching adapter can generate so much noise that the difference is clearly audible even when it is not used for playback(just with the adapter plugged in). With two output, this device can power two of your equipments, and allows an overall cleaner setup than the mess of wall warts and their messy cables.



What's the Benefit of using KECES DC-115 5V instead of the cheap wall warts?:

1. Dual Independent Output: In addition to the original and selectable 12 or 15 volts DC output, this version have one made to supply 5V DC for your equipments that requires 5V DC power. Saves you the clutter of two huge wall warts on your... walls!
2. High Output Current: Not only are both output independent, but each can output up to 2 amps of very clean power, good for anything from DACs, Class T/D amps, Pres, and more! Anything wall warts do, DC-115 can do it better.
3. Highly Regulated: DC-115 evolved from the ultra-quiet KECES Gen2 power supply used with KECES DACs, any undesirable interference are filtered out and only clean power remains.
4. Over-sized Transformer: DC-115 features a very large and powerful transformer, designed to have ample reserve capacity even when used with demanding load.
5. No Interference: With the advent of switching adapters(those tiny wall warts), a lot of users are finding that their power supply are getting a massive injection of noise through the AC mains. Why? It is because most not only produce massive switching noise from its DC output, but also injects a massive dose of noise back into your AC mains.
6. Reliability: With better cooling, chassis, and components, DC-115 is far more reliable than any wall warts can hope to be. Why buy a better wall wart to replace your original/failing wall wart, when a much better alternative exists in the form of DC-115?
7. Listenability: With the ability to extract all the details, we still keep DC-115 very enjoyable with non-fatiguing sound. After all, it would not be fun to listen to something that will fatigue you out quickly.

What other qualities does KECES DC-115 have?:

1. Easy Installation: Simply select the proper voltage (open the lid with the supplied tool to do so), plug in the appropriate cables, and you are done!
2. Ultra-Low-Noise Power: Give your audio equipment the KECES Gen2 Power advantage by hooking up DC-115.
3. Highly Refined Design: The circuit of DC-115 is tailor made to suit the need of your audio equipments far better than wall warts can.
4. Quality Components: The use of high power Toshiba transistor, filtering choke, huge filtering capacitor and more, is simply impossible with wall warts; while DC-115 does it in relative ease.
5. Precision Power Circuits: Two independently calibrated, regulated, rectified and filtered power supply. Need I say more?
6. Custom Low Noise Toroidal Transformer: Ultra low noise and efficient custom transformer is used in all KECES products, and with DC-115, it is larger than ever. (except PT-111 of course)
7. Compact & Stylish: Sturdy metal chassis with smoked acrylic top cover, it looks perfectly at home whether it is on your desk or on the stereo rack.
8. Performance Upgrade: Computer grade IEC power inlet is upgradeable to IeGO Audio Grade sockets at the time of order. For more dynamics, detail and warmth IeGO GU-R301 gold plated 99.99% pure copper IEC socket ($30USD) is a great upgrade. For even better dynamics, detail and an overall balanced and neutral tone, IeGO AG-R301 99.99% pure silver IEC socket ($90USD) would be the ultimate upgrade.

Neat and tight interior, circuit and component layout are all highly optimized. You can also see the larger transformer, filtering choke, capacitor bank, transistors and a large heatsink and heatsink plate.

KECES DC-115 Basic Specs:

1. Dedicated and calibrated 5V output : Precision tuned 5 Volt output for your 5V equipments, like Squeezebox and other new digital sources.
2. Calibrated 12 and 15V output: Precision tuned 12 Volt and 15 Volt output, as long as your equipments takes 12V or 15V DC, it can be used with DC-115
3. High 2 Amps * 2 output: Each output is capable of up to 2 Amps (4 Amps total), making it perfectly suited for anything from DACs to Class T/D amps, even the most demanding amps will perform great with DC-115.
4. Industrial Strength: Unit is over-designed so that it never experience any undue stress, and all components never even come close to their limits. This will greatly enhance performance, sound quality and reliability.
5. International Voltage Compatibility: Simple flick of a switch will allow you to switch between 115V (usable for countries of 100 to 125V) and 230V (usable for countries of 200 to 250V).
6. Upgradeable to IeGO Power Inlet: Optional upgrade to IeGO GU-R301 gold plated copper socket ($30USD) or top grade AG-R301 pure silver socket ($90) will allow you to enhance the performance even further.
7. Included Accessory: Computer grade power cable, appropriate for customer's region and 2 DC power cable for connecting to your equipments. (One marked with red heat-shrink to remind you the voltage of the two output are different)
8. Dimensions: 215mm * 205mm * 80mm, it is the same size as other KECES products, allowing easy placement of the unit.

IeGO IEC Socket upgrade information:


We provide two types of socket for upgrades, and both socket will enhance the detail and dynamics, but both enhance in a different way. (photo above shows AG-R301 socket, golden screw shown is replaced with better screws that comes with spring washer.)

GU-R301 Gold plated 99.99% pure copper IEC socket ($30USD) not only enhance the details and dynamics, it also makes it sound warm and smooth, the high quality processing done on GU-R301's gold plating process also makes it sound more refined and all without losing a bit of the details (Well, it actually enhances the details when compared to the original computer grade socket).  GU-R301 is warmer sounding than AG-R301, if you are looking for warmer sound signature with more flair, please choose GU-R301 over AG-R301.


AG-R301 99.99% pure silver IEC socket ($90USD) will enhance dynamics and detail even further than GU-R301, and as with very high quality silver, the sound is smooth, detailed and quite neutral.  It does not have the "silver harshness" normally associated with low grade silver or thinly plated silver cable and connectors, high quality silver sounds smooth, with proper thickness, very detailed and open.  AG-R301 is neutral sounding and more detailed with better dynamics than GU-R301, if you are looking for that, please choose AG-R301 over GU-R301.  Please note that while GU-R301 is warmer, AG-R301 is by no means cold, it is very neutral.
