Lots of pseudo techie words put together in long sentences but I still read it as bollox. I am fully prepared to accept that power supply to a device such as a DAC can have a bearing on the analogue output but on the digital side a 1 is a 1 etc yet these purveyors of highly priced snake oil switches would have you believe the 1s are sharper and the 0s more rounded.
