Just curious... Why would you choose NOT to discipline the OXCO?
And I agree.... wall warts, and indeed ALL switching supplies are the
work of Satan. <wink>
I have/am eliminated/ing everyone I can.
I don't have a device with an OXCO yet, but I am powering my TXCO GPSDO
from Bodnar with a VERY quiet linear DC supply. (Astron Linear with
additional outboard regulation and filtering).

I do not use a GPSDO for 10-MHz reference source. Instead I bought a
Russian surplus OCXO from e-bay for $40:
http://www.kl7uw.com/K3EXREF.htm was my beta-tester report
http://www.kl7uw.com/Rubidium.htm more info on OCXO install. I
stopped using a "wall-wart" for 12v supply after discovering excess
ripple from the "wart". Now I simply use my station Astron 50 which
runs 24/7.
For GPS time I use a little GPS dongle (plugs into computer USB
jack). Model BU-363 found on e-bay for about $15. I run BktTime
(IZ2BKT) sw to control computer time (previously used Dimension-4).
This keeps my computer time accurate for running JT65.
