SB Touch Beta (wired) - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Go
I did
swap my SMPS for a linear some years ago but have since swapped it back
as the SMPS uses a lot less electricity and I can't hear or measure any
benefit.
With the Touch we are talking about a much lower internal noise floor
(-20dB from memory) to begin with - and I still can't hear

on of this paper is
that they may be doing some post-mastering (EQ etc) that would require
the Pyramix workstation as you can't edit DSD natively.

Precisely! No idea what the legaility of such mods are... certainly
