What makes anyone think a cheap linear is going to be any better than a SMPS? What are the noise ripple specs of the Elpac verses the stock supply? What about the SMPS inside the SB, and how about the noise coming from the SMPS powering your PC? -- mauidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mauidan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1679 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18660 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
