The display noise (if it's there) would be a product of the display circuit (power to the display, digital drivers, the actual display itself, etc). I don't see that an external power supply necessarily can do anything to affect that. When it comes to judging sound quality from a component's noise floor I don't get what the point would be in that? If, for example, noise introduces jitter in the D/A, it won't show up when the D/A isn't doing anything. Furthermore the D/A will not sound "noisy" -it will just sound "bad". That is the nature of may problems in audio reproduction -they are not easily identifiable as "noise" freestanding from any audio signals.
