Is a power supply beneficial for component SQ if you have a quality power conditioner?

I have a shunyata MPC-12a power conditioner. Would it be beneficial or unnecessary to spend the money to, say, replace the wal wart on my streamer with a power supply to plug into the power conditioner? Thanks folks

I too have a dedicated power line to my audio room, with a 4 plug furutech heavy duty outlet. My power conditioner has 2 seperate runs of receptacles...one set for digital the other for analogue. So I suppose that the wal wart plugged into the power conditioner defeats the purpose?

I am trying to accomplish good clean power to my streamer component. I have had built a dedicated electrical power line and purchased a power conditioner (which retails for $2250) in order to provide that good clean power. I am just wondering if the things I have done have supplied the good feed of power that I need and if that is all I need to do, or does a wall wart disrupt what I have done and corrupt the supply of good power to the component. I don't want to purchase a power supply if it is not necessary based on what I have already done....but I don't want to undermine my investment either.

Makes sense to me, and I suspected as much, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience in this

But it does sound like, and this only makes sense, that you guys are ultimately saying that your power chain is only as good as its weakest link.....and that, in my case, would be the wall wart
easola01 OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 161 posts 10-16-2017 at 10:17pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Okay lowrider57. Sounds logical. So, I started this forum based upon the streamer I am considering, which offers an optional power supply to replace wall wart. So now, a power supply is for replacement of wall warts? Excuse my ignorance, I need some education as I don't know a lot about audio. I have power cords to go from component to power conditioner for cord hookup....so anything with a wall wart I should invest in a power supply?
