Are you sure adapter is dead because it is just a transformer that rarely goes bad? Have you checked thoroughly?

 

[suryashekhardas]

I have honestly no idea , The orange lights inside the Schiit Magni 2 Is not lighting up anymore, even when i have tested different adapters.I dont have spare adapter with this exact specs
Only the white light works

 

[suryashekhardas]

I think maybe it requires exactly 16V AC 500ma

Borrow a DMM and check the o/p on the output pin on the adapter first.
The adapter is a AC-AC adapter so the DAC is doing a AC-DC rectification internally
Having said that, the DAC should have powered on with 12V+ DC adapters also ..
You should definitely check the o/p on the current adapter though

If you meant white light comes up with original adapter then contact Schiit support because it may not be adapter then.

 

[suryashekhardas]

Oh no no, With the original adapter white light doesnot come up. with the original one nothing happens

With other 9V , 12V DC ones, it comes up, the white light
but the amp doesnot work

Actually i have no idea to test all these. I have never done these before.
I will be forever grateful to all of you if you can find me a compatible adapter from here.

For time being, do not do any such experiments then or you may end up damaging the unit.

 

[suryashekhardas]

Yep no experiements for now also i have very little amout of money i saved from my birthday.

Can you please recommend me a new adapter from www.amazon.in?

The unit requires 16VAC.
Don't use a DC adapter.

I badly need a new one ,Can you please help me find a new one from amazon india? Thanks so much

 

[raghupb]

They are bit hard to find in India. AC-DC are the common ones.
I had a similar situation with Schiit Modi-2.
The best thing is to get it from Schiit from US.
It'll cost you 20USD approx (10 cost + 10 local US shipping)

You may try this site:

Your adapter outputs 16V AC voltage. Your DAC expects AC voltage from the adapter, not DC. This means that there is AC to DC rectification happening within the DAC. So there's no use trying 9V or 12V DC adapters.

Please get yourself a cheap digital multimeter (~Rs 500-550). It always comes in handy. You can check whether your adapter is giving out 16V AC or not.

Since the white light comes on it looks like the DAC is receiving power from the adapter.
