Yeah, had the same thought.

The ESX1SD addendum manual says DC12V. Guess they chose to move the rectification out of the box for the new version.

ESX1 - AC9V
ESX1SD - DC12V

I see you were smarter than I, i spent an extra $50 at jaycar to get one that was suitable for three prong plugs.
My esx arrived, two prongs
I raged.

On a related note, can you use doble adapters with converters?

yeah, as long as the maximum power being drawn doesn't exceed the amount the transformer can provid
(usually measured by watts for transformers)
