one can only tell if it makes a difference in the context of one's own system. If your ancilliary components are susceptible to RF interference in such a way as to manifest the problem to the audio band, then yes, replacing the SMPS with a linear may make a difference.
After coming into some understanding of the cascaded regulation, I see no reason why a linear would make the power supply, at the chip level in the analog stage, any bit better than the stock SMPS. But hey it's one guys opinion and there is a current market for it. In the audiophile loony tunes business if you build it they will come. cheers! -- dpac996 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dpac996's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9407 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31758 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
