Product Reviews
Please see the following reviews: HIFI News.

The Steelhead was designed with an outboard power supply to keep the sensitive low-level audio electronics away from things like power transformers (those can radiate magnetic fields adding unwanted hum to the audio) and away from diodes and regulators which add more heat to the critical audio parts.

In the external power supply, the mains voltage comes in and hits a little flat-pack power transformer whose job is to step down those big AC wall voltages down for a little keep-alive circuit so that when you press the sleep button on the Steelhead's audio chassis, a pair of relays fire and the big main power tranny comes on the scene to provide all the working voltages for all the different power supplies used to run the unit (or if it is already awake, it goes to sleep).
