Excellent point there Skunk. Power supply regulation and low ripple performance are important, but their benefits will be much more audible in your amplification components. My receiver has a 25 lbs toroidal power transformer and 88,000 uF of filter capacitance, for instance. S/N ratio is 120 dB same as the finest DACs.
In other words, it doesn't really matter how good your SB3's aftermarket linear supply is if you have a wimpy and noisy power supply elsewhere in the audio chain. -- crooner Squeezebox 3 Lite Audio DAC60 tube DAC Pioneer SX-1980 Vandersteen 2Ce Signature Vandersteen 2W ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3379 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21175 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
