I did the same thing but checked voltage before plugging in. What I want to know is : what kind of circuit is cool enought to step up or down a dc voltage based on which way you plug it in???????

Result: 44 volts through the DAP-1522. NOT FUN.
Also, the switching voltage regulator inside, which I suspect blew, had a maximum rating of 42 volts.


If you do blow it, Amazon has a nice $15 rebate + sale so they are only $57. We bought two.
