There may not be any way to completely isolate the switcher. The optical connection would help, but some people don't like those. I plug the SB2 into a power conditioner, the Jon Risch diy design followed by the SQ&D iso trans. With a surplus linear supply I'm using I notice an improvement from top to bottom. I suppose most people wouldn't notice, or care. If you have upgraded cables, ever treated a cd, used vibration isolation devices, etc. and could hear any difference, then you should try a linear.
