Maybe. Some people have found it to make a difference, others have not. The most plausible hypothesis is that the RFI generated by the stock switching supply presents no problem for the SB3, but it can affect other components more sensitive to this RFI. I bought an inexpensive, linear, regulated PSU and could not hear any difference. YMMV. -- jeffmeh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38271 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
