Sorry, I'm a little late getting this posted. I could not be happier with BIAB as a great software tool in my studio. I get the updates to my Audiophile HD version every year or so. In those years we have gone from the small 2.5 HD that was buss power only, to a few years of the large black HD, that mounted on a base and had a very large, sturdy, power supply. That works so good with my desk top, that I'm still using 2011.5 ver, so I can continue to use the power supply. Since then 2012 went back to the small housing, but had a jack for a power adapter (but it didn't come with it, and the packaging and booklett did not tell you what power rating to buy. AC, DC, # of Volts, Ma rating). Now the 2013 HD is back to buss power only, no option for external power source. That means, for us who go out with laptops and BIAB, we better have two open USB ports.

Is PG Music always trying new HD's ( I know the early ones were ify)? Is it just luck of the draw at ordering time, which one I will receive? Can I request a certain style HD as I order? PLEASE guys, that external power suppy is important!! Can someone tell me what power supply to use with my 2012 HD, so I can stay mobile?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
