My speakers are DIY using very revealing Aurum Cantons G2si ribbon tweeters and paper midrange woofers. I can definitely hear differences between tweaked and untweaked CD players but through my previous speakers (B&W N804), I was unable to do so. Audible differences between setups have mostly occured in higher frequencies but they were slight. This was confirmed by several non-audiophile visitors at my home, too. My ribbons are extremely sensitive. I think our hearing works perfectly fine. Maybe it's just the top end of our speakers that masks those slight differences. I know this doesn't directly relate to switching supplies vs linear ones but I'm sure we're all able to hear differences when there are some. With the B&W's I wouldn't have bothered upgrading my source.
I guess the conclusion is try *ANYTHING* before you spend money and see for yourself if it does make a difference.
