I know! If weight is any indication of quality, this is a humdinger...

Wow - 1.2kg - that's a monster! It looks so small in the picture
too

Yeah, I figured the same thing. But the Power One PS was cheap enough
for me to find out. I was blown away by the difference!

I guess 1.5 amps at 5V is specialised compared to (say) 12v at 0.5-1
amp...
The one I linked to above was $30 inc postage (but it's UK - there must
be something similar in the US)
This is the manufacturers web site...maybe they have US distributors?

Well, if you imagine the coax SPDIF to be a variable mark/space pulse
train at high frequency, then it can be affected by almost
anything...cables, termination etc. Certainly noise can be injected
into it which could alter its interpretation. If you are dubious, try
using a long (>10m?), very chea

The one I use was totally "plug and play" ! - I think it is this
one(http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSearch/partDetail.jsp?SKU=PW00187&N=411)
and yes it is linear (and very heavy)
I don't think (personally) this is anything to do with jitter. I think
it's "RF" infecting the system somehow.
The cost is minimal, but it's a bit difficult to find a PSU that you can
simply replace the wallwart with, without doing any assembly. If you do
find one, please post it!

Opinions are wildly divided on the if's and why's of your question. In
my system, the Farnell supply changed the sound via my MF X-DACv3. My
personal view is that the stock wall-wart puts out something (RF?) that
can be picked up by "the system" and has a deleterious effect on the
sound.
For the m
DAC out?
I am guessing this would be the same as the coax digital output.
The analog outputs, on the other hand, use the internal Burr Brown DAC.
I am using the coaxial digital output (with an external DAC) and the
linear PS does make a very noticeable difference, for the better.
