You should hear zero difference with Duet being powered by external linear PS. The Duet itself has additional switching PS inside based on the 9V DC input.
I tried powering the Duet with AA batts. using a batt. holder via the DC input jack, there is no difference in sound at all. I've a TacT 2.2xp pre-amp processor, it makes a big improvement in sound once I changed the SMPS to a Linear PS :) timequest;423689 Wrote: > > That said (let me reiterate, the CI unit works just fine with the > Duet), how does the addition of the aftermarket PS make the Duet sound? > Cant tell.
