Whilst I would agree with you that a SMPSU for a SB is as good as is needed, of the 7 things you say that the SMPSU is better only 3 are correct. A linear regulator will in general have better (Lower) internal impeadence due to the fact that the feedback bandwidth of linear regulators is generally higher that in a SM. SMPSU are limited in (real) bandwidth to the swiching frequency. A linear can be many MHz Higher peak current is neither type, it depend on the current limiting system. Switch noise is dominant noise in a SMPSU and is oreders of magnitute worse than a fairly bog standard linear. Regulation is down to feedback bandwidth, linears win hands down. higher efficiency, smaller size, lower weight SMPSU wins most of the time. The best solution would be a SMPSU followed by a Linear, giving the low noise etc of a linear with most of the advantages of a SMPSU. However theres still the regulator in the SB/Pi, In the Pi its a SM not sure about the SB's Jeff *Players:* SliMP3,Squeezebox3 x3,Receiver,SqueezePlayer,PiCorePlayer x3,Wandboard *Server:* LMS Version: 7.9.0 - 1451286059 on Centos 7 VM on ESXi 6 on HP N54L *Plugins:* AutoRescan/BBCiPlayer/PowerSave/PowerSwitchIII/Squeezecloud *Remotes:* iPeng8/Orangesqueeze/PC/Jivelite *Music:* 383GB,1269 albums 17756 songs 4381 artists mostly FLACs *Want a webapp ?* See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104305-Webapp-for-LMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82648 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
