Yes, the power supply of the Ayon DACs and other DACs that sound a cut above are large. My DAC weighs a solid 18KG (38 pounds) and it has two power transformers and 2 chokes as well as full wave rectification...with 4 tubes! Never seen it done like how you would do it with silicon diodes.

You've never seen 4 silicon diodes in a full-wave bridge configuration vs an encapsulated bridge rectifier ?

  Of course...what does that have to do with what Ayon has done with 4 diode tubes? It is analogous but not common practice with tube gear...normally it is one larger diode for the rectification.
