So I recently bought a Neptune DOS but it didn’t come with any cables. Reading the DOS article it appears I either needed a power supply or a onelink. So I ordered a power supply off Amazon and apparently this dos has a proprietary input plug a round/half moon which doesn’t appear to be available. Am I missing something? I wasn’t planning on OneLink as my power bar is almost at max capacity. Even the power supplies on BRS show a full round tip on the power supply so I’m just confused.

Thoughts or reccomendations?

You can power it from 832 also.

it’s been a while since I looked at the jacks, but yours looks odd. Maybe it’s just broken. I assume you got it used.

Yes I bought it used. Would I be able to add it to my 832? It’s already at about max voltage or am I just electrically illiterate lol?

Lol, you and me both. It’s the wattage you need to keep an eye on, and if 459 is your normal peak you’ve got loads of remaining capacity. Plus, I think the aux jacks are powered separately from the 110 outlets. Just need the cable.

459 is normal peak with the occasional jump for heaters. So that should work. I’ll run to the LFS and pick up a 1link cable
