The s-booster would be potentially piontless . As measured with ADM by member iPhone the output of the Touch or SB3 does not change with another ps , there is difference. This is because that the squeezebox itself is filled with other switchmode PS that turns the raw 5 volts to other voltages

There's no way that the S-booster has a choke in it anything like the one in the JS design - it just wouldn't physically fit (nor could it be done at anything like the price...). Howard, how much does the s-booster weigh? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a

John's PS design is a good one it also takes care of the grunge going back to the mains from the supply . he has also rediscovered the snubber circuit forgotten by audio ps designers but installed in every product I work with in daily basis -- Mnyb
