Hello everyone, I need some advice in choosing a new UPS for my stereo system.
Currently, I have the following:
1. Integrated amp, Power rating: 2 x 120 W RMS @ 4Ohm
2. DAC with external switching PSU, 100 - 240 V AC, 2 A, 24 Watts
3. Preamp (line switcher), approximately 15 watts consumption
4. Reel-to-Reel, max. 90 watts
The reason I am using a UPS is that I am of course concerned about my equipment. In case of a power outage, I need about 1 minute to turn everything off to be sure. When I put my stereo system together, I ended up repurposing the one I had been using for my PC. It has 4 battery-protected plugs, and I will soon need 5 (in a few months 6).
My current UPS is this one, which has a simulated sine wave.
As you see, I have a mix of digital and analog sources, and I've heard that simulated sine wave UPS are not the best for audio equipment. As I said, the power source was something I overlooked when putting my system together, but now I want to also get this out of the way.
What UPS would you, recommend for my system? I don't have a fixed budget, but of course I'm not looking for something crazy expensive. I don't need an exact model, but I would like to know more about this, for eg. would a pure sine wave UPS will be better for me?
Thnak you!
