i'd like to add....

my UFX+ PSU crapped out for the second time today since 2018. That's averaging a fix every two years!

can anyone recommend a cheaper and higher quality internal PSU than the one recommended from RME?

I'm so furious that I am thinking about dumping my UFX+, The ARC, and my two Babyfaces for the Apollo x16 and a Twin. I'm pretty fed up with the RME silent subscription.


Thanks

Of course this is strange as the RME 800 are still going strong with 10 year old PSU

There are things external that can influence the behaviour of the PSU heat water,cables, and wrong fuse can course over heating this is not what I am saying what happened but just example

It looks like your warranty is coming to an end so you can open the unit and just have a look for any capacitor that are bloating and out of shape, if so you can replace the capacitors or have a competent person to do it.

But on all I would have said your experience is not normal
