Personally I would say that best practice is not to bother with questionable audiophile tweaks that make the system unstable, especially as their value has never been demonstrated. > My impression is that the value of hardware tweaking is debatable Indeed. > there may be some benefit to investing in a linear power supply Linear power supplies are usually a bad idea for digital circuits (as they aren't very good at dealing with peaky loads.

How is that device supposed to work, and what is it that it actually does? The claims sound like the typical snake oil ones: "With the SBooster the sound is deeper, the stress disappears, the emotion comes back and the digital edge will be a thing of the past forever.
