Are linkable power supplies interchangeable? Can I link a Walrus Audio Canvas Power supply to a Cioks DC7?

[phillybhatesme]

The Cioks DC7 has a 24v output which can be used to power the Cioks 4 or 8 expander units.
Walrus sells units like the Canvas Power 5 and 8 that come with 24v outputs as well. Walrus markets these as linkable to their other power units.

Does it stand to reason that you can hook up a Walrus unit to a Cioks unit and vice versa?
Has anyone done this?

That is an excellent question. Good job.

Hah yeah I thought the same thing. What a great question, I genuinely have no idea.

My guess is that if:

• the connectors fit (including matching polarity)
• the voltages match
• the "extension" piece draws less amperage than the providing power supply provides

... then you're probably good to go. But ultimately I wouldn't know for sure.
