FiiO Darkside Pro Low-Noise Linear Power Supply Silver
Couldn't Load Pickup availability
The FiiO Darkside Pro is a low-noise regulated linear power supply in a silver finish, built to replace standard switching adapters and deliver cleaner, more stable DC power to DACs, streamers, headphone amplifiers and preamplifiers. It uses a 75 W toroidal transformer with fully discrete NMOS regulation and offers selectable 12 V or 15 V output at up to 3 A.
This listing is the silver finish. The Darkside Pro is also available in black.
Key specifications
- Type: regulated linear power supply
- Transformer: 75 W toroidal
- Regulation: fully discrete NMOS with parallel MOSFETs
- Output: selectable 12 V or 15 V, up to 3 A, with fine voltage adjustment
- Connectors: GX16-2 DC output, standard AC input, rear voltage selector
- Protection: overcurrent protection and voltage monitoring with LED status indicators
- Metal chassis to reduce electromagnetic interference
The Darkside Pro delivers a low-noise DC output to improve the performance of sensitive components such as DACs, network streamers, headphone amplifiers and preamplifiers. Reducing interference and power fluctuations contributes to a quieter background, improved detail retrieval and better sonic clarity.
Audiophile Linear Power Design
The Darkside Pro uses a linear power supply architecture to reduce electrical noise compared to conventional switching supplies. Linear designs produce smooth voltage output with minimal high-frequency interference — interference that can otherwise degrade sensitive audio circuits. The result is reduced background noise and improved performance stability for connected components. For users wanting to optimise their system, swapping a standard switching adapter for a dedicated linear supply like the Darkside Pro is a practical step up — particularly for desktop equipment such as the FiiO K15 Desktop DAC and Headphone Amplifier.
Powerful Transformer and Discrete Regulation
The Darkside Pro is built around a 75 W toroidal transformer, chosen for efficient power delivery and minimal magnetic leakage. It provides strong current reserves and stable voltage, even under demanding conditions. A fully discrete NMOS voltage regulation circuit with parallel MOSFETs reduces internal resistance, improves dynamic response and maintains extremely stable voltage levels. The combination delivers fast transient response and ultra-low noise output.
Flexible Voltage and High Current Capability
Selectable 12 V and 15 V output settings let the Darkside Pro support a wide range of compatible audio devices. A relay-controlled voltage switching system ensures efficient operation and minimises heat. Output current reaches up to 3 A, suitable for most desktop Hi-Fi components. A precision voltage adjustment feature allows fine-tuning within a narrow tolerance range for optimal compatibility with specific equipment.
Robust Construction and Built-In Protection
The Darkside Pro has a metal chassis that reduces electromagnetic interference and provides long-term structural rigidity. Connectivity includes a GX16-2 DC output connector, standard AC input and a rear voltage selection switch. Built-in overcurrent protection and voltage monitoring protect connected equipment, and LED indicators show voltage status at a glance.
A Meaningful Upgrade for Audio Enthusiasts
The Darkside Pro is a practical upgrade for enthusiasts seeking cleaner power for DACs, streamers, headphone amplifiers and preamplifiers. Its combination of audiophile-grade linear design, discrete regulation, robust construction and flexible voltage options makes it a versatile addition to desktop Hi-Fi setups where clean, stable power matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What devices can the FiiO Darkside Pro power?
A: It suits DACs, network streamers, headphone amplifiers and preamplifiers that run from 12 V or 15 V DC at up to 3 A. Check your device's power input before connecting.
Q: Why use a linear power supply instead of the supplied adapter?
A: Linear supplies produce far less high-frequency electrical noise than switching adapters, which can mean a quieter background and clearer sound from sensitive audio equipment.
Q: Are the black and silver versions different?
A: No, only the finish differs. Both have the same 75 W toroidal transformer, discrete regulation and 12 V / 15 V outputs.
