A most unusual situation. Of all the low v kit in this house that takes
ac from wallwarts, not a single one is unable to run happily off dc.

Use one with a higher voltage. If it uses an AC low voltage supply, then
all the regulation is internal. A DC supply will happily pass through the
rectifier etc, but if of the same nominal voltage won't be high enough to
make the regulation work.
