Probably a noob question, but better safe than sorry:
So an online seller (2nd hand) screwed me and didn’t supply the PSU / power supply that should come with a uZeus Eurorack power module.
I’ve checked around online and I should be able to be fine with any AC/DC (switching?) power brick that outputs 15V and at least 1Amp. Happy Nerding (from uZeus) even say this in the manual that it’s fine to use a regular universal power brick.
I’ve found two power adapters that I own that are the needed 15V and 1Amp. Only they don’t mention if they are AC/DC. Is every adapter AC/DC? Or is it important to differentiate between AcDc supplies and “other” supplies?
Here are photos of the two I own, the first is for OTO BAM and the second for Quadrantid Swarm:
(their websites also don’t specify their power supplies other than 15v and 1Amp)
The dash with the dots underneath indicate DC.

Amazing!
Just did a quick Google and thanks to you I now understand these logos:

Yup, and also be aware of the “center positive” vs “center negative” indicator. Both of yours show center positive.
Guitar pedal power supplies are usually center negative so sometimes finding a center positive 9V supply at a guitar player’s house might be tricky…

uZeus is manufactured by Tip Top Audio, not Happy Nerding. I just want to make sure you’re reading the right manual!

Yeah I’m aware of the center positive / negative, but good of you to mention to be sure.
Also tiptop instead of happy nerding, you’re right: after so much trouble shooting and Googleing stuff starts to get foggy in my mind 
But it works perfect now, right barrel size, right +/-, right amp and right voltage. Just checked and all good! (I also checked the amps that my modules will need)
Cheers!
