What it does

Cleaner power for 5 V gear

Lineo5 Duo takes the place of the external switching power supplies that run two of your devices, such as a streamer and a DAC. Its linear design gives each of them clean, stable 5 V power.

A switching supply and a linear supply.

A linear supply

A linear power supply holds a large reservoir of clean, stable power and keeps electrical noise low. Power delivery stays consistent, so you hear more of the detail and the transients in your music.

Less ripple and interference

Linear regulation and filtering reduce ripple and interference. Each output of Lineo5 Duo has its own regulators and filtering, and the residual noise is 20 µV.

A toroidal transformer

A toroidal transformer sits at the heart of Lineo5 Duo. It delivers the power each output needs with a wide margin, so it never comes close to its limits, even in the most demanding listening sessions.

Audio-grade capacitors

Lineo5 Duo uses audio-grade, low-ESR capacitors with 40,000 µF of bulk capacitance, a large reservoir of power for the moments your system needs it most.

Aluminum, cooled passively

A simple, honest design. The chassis is aluminum, a robust and non-magnetic material, and the heatsinks along its sides cool the electronics passively.

110 or 220 V
A switch on the back sets the mains input: 110–120 V at 60 Hz, or 220–240 V at 50 Hz.
An easy-to-reach fuse
A fuse protects Lineo5 Duo, and it is easy to reach.
For 5 V audio gear
Stable, clean power for high-end DACs, headphone amplifiers and network streamers that run on 5 V.

Lineo5 Duo or Lineo5

Both are linear 5 V supplies with a toroidal transformer, in the same 27.1 × 22.7 × 7 cm aluminum chassis, and they work with the same devices. Lineo5 has one output with up to 5 A. Lineo5 Duo has two independent outputs with up to 4 A each, so one supply can power two devices.
