Sbooster ULTRA MKII

Sbooster Ultra MK2

The Sbooster Ultra MK II is designed as additional upgrade for the BOTW P & P ECO MKI and MKII power supplies . The Sbooster Ultra MKII is connected directly to the Sbooster Split Current Module of the BOTW P & P ECO.

The Sbooster Ultra is designed for audio devices that respond to residual noise, such as D/A converters, music streamers, headphone amplifiers, pre-amplifiers and phono amplifiers. A must for every audiophile!

The Sbooster Ultra is based on active filter technology. The electronics of the Sbooster Ultra require power for operation, therefore the BOTW P & P ECO power supply must be set to a higher DC output voltage.

The Sbooster Ultra is designed to power one audio device at a time. If an external hard disk is connected to the USB input of a network player and supplied with power via this input, the power requirement of the BOTW P&P ECO increases. This in turn can cause the maximum capacity of the connected Sbooster Ultra to be exceeded. In these cases the combination is not suitable for the Ultra-Upgrade.

The functions of the ULTRA MKII

The innovative electronic design filters and optimizes the input power and is fine-tuned within the audible range.

The Ultra MKII circuit uses improved higher capacitance input and output buffers and solid conductive polymer capacitors to reduce output ripple and expand the bandwidth of the filter circuit.

The transient response has improved by 40-50% compared to the Ultra MKI by adding more parts and reducing the output impedance to a minimum. The output circuit is now equipped with an impedance correction filter to achieve improved performance over a wider bandwidth.

Sbooster Decoy: We all love to have our audio equipment in the metal enclosures, but there's also a lot of noise from the radiation from the electronic components used, which can't escape from the metal enclosure and keep jumping inside the enclosure. How can you eliminate this noise? About our innovative "electronic bait container"! The Sbooster Decoy is built into the Ultra MKII to lure this unwanted noise out of the audio device's metal cage.

Star-shaped design: The Ultra MKII is a Star Ground design. Almost every component has its own ground connection. This makes the electronic design more stable and makes music easier.

Newly designed input and output cables: The Ultra MKII's cables have only one purpose. You want to pass on all the benefits of the BOTW P & P ECO and Ultra MKII design without disturbing 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 individually manufactured gold-plated pins.

New features Sbooster Ultra MKII:

• 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”: 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? Vi our 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.

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!

To find out if your audio device is also suitable for the Sbooster Ultra upgrade, please check our compatibility list. You will find the compatibility list in the overview pages of the BOTW P&P ECO Voltages.

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.
