Hi Paul, I have not compared my Acopian to the other power supplies you mentioned. The Acopian is not cheap, but they are very small and very clean! Using the Acopian instead of the stock switching supply makes a very noticeable audible improvement to me. I also loaned one to a friend of mine who brought my attention to the SB2. Here is what he wrote to me: "There is NO question that the power supply makes a noticable difference. Very noticable, I'd say. Smoother, sweeter. Much less hardness (particularly with strong transients). Women's voices like Bjork now sound like they are "singing forcefully" rather than shouting. Makes it so much better to listen to and appreciate." I totally agree, but I'm no longer using the Acopian...I switched over to battery power and am even happier.
