first thing I thought when I saw your psu.

I'd recommend something more then 10A. I tried your second option. I found an old ATX PSU that is rated for 10A on the 12V rail. Though it works, anytime I tried something that took some juice the opus would go into protective mode and start a soft shutdown.
