Some people think they hear a difference when using a linear regulated supply. Others, such as myself, perceive no difference. The audio circuits inside the SB3 are powered from a DC-DC converter inside the SB3. A DC-DC converter is a type of switching power supply. Even if you use a linear supply external to the SB3, the internal switching supply remains. There have been numerous threads on this subject, and Slim Devices people even made a bunch of measurements that actually looked microscopically better with the stock switching supply. In short, if you WANT to hear a difference, you probably will, and if you don't really care, you probably won't. If you're listening to mp3 files, you probably don't care enough to hear a difference anyway.
