XITE-1 power adapter replacement

The Hipro HP-02040D43 Rev 01 power adapter which came with my XITE-1 has died, so I need to get a replacement. I did buy the same model adapter from ebay.co.uk but it was a Rev B version not a Rev 01 version, and unfortunately the inner diameter of the pin which connects into the power socket on the back of the XITE-1 is just too small so it won't fit. I assume the different Rev number is used to determine the size of this pin although I am not certain.
Anyway, if anyone happens to know of an alternative make or model power adapter which will work with the XITE-1 I would appreciate it. Cheers

Yes, I have emailed suoport, so will wait for a reply in due course.
Sure I understand that using a replacement direct from SC was probably the best solution, however I figured it was worth a try with the one I got off ebay as it was cheap and local. Unfortunately although it's exactly the same model, a HiPro HP-02040D43, but the ebay one is a Rev B instead of a Rev 01 which the original is that came with the XITE-1, so I guess that Rev specification denotes the dimensions of the connector . The outer dimension is the same but the inside dimension is not quite as wide as the original Rev 01. Anyway, I will wait for support to reply, and thanks for the advice.

To follow up quickly, I have now been in touch with support and will be purchasing a replacement power adapter from SC.
Thanks for the help.

If capacitors didn't suck at being left in the box, I would buy a second just to be prepared. Probably worth considering in a few years regardless...

Thanks! (Caps have issues when idle was referencing a 2nd PSU stored for years in the event I would need one). Looks like a defect that took time, or a transient, to fail.

Yes, the coil blew up, but that’s most likely the symptom, NOT the cause...

True, it was likely something else that caused it. I might check the caps and some other components just out of interest when I have time. But more importantly a new adapter is on its way from SC.

I'm using Mean Well S60A12-P1J since years, as far as i remember my research this is the successor of the Sonic Core stock adapter. The DA converter is sounding a little bit different compaired to the stock adapter, mainly because it is regulated.
