Agreed on the new series. Never could get into the older series. One of the reasons I like the newer series is Hiroyuki Sanadai's performance. I remember first seeing him in The Last Samurai.

Thanks, Adam. As always, your experience and expertise for these products is very helpful. I've found exactly what you've stated and can power my Akasa NUC with a 12V power supply, as well. Agree with all your points. Cheers.
