Linear Power supplies for DACs...?

Ian, in your case the LPS Farad3 psu is one of the best in the market. An excellent choice is also theSMPS from SotM Sps 500 with a clean filtered PSU.

Just a report back:

I bought a Teddy Pardo LPS for ,my Chord Qutest and it has made a very substantial positive impact.

More depth.
More layers of sound.
Fuller sound spectrum.
Deeper tones.
Greater separation.

Very dimensional and a true sonic upgrade. I am very pleased.

I recently made some improvements to my front end which includes a linear power supply for my CD player and battery power for my tube preamp buffer. Things have never sounded so analog. Digital glare? What’s that? I also added a VPI brick on top of the LPS transformer. Seems to help smooth things out. Strange. 

I have some great yet currently extinct power supplies for my Cambridge DAC and phono preamp..."Pangea P100s" supposedly designed by a smart person, and they are MUCH better than the wall warts they replaced...noise filtering, stable transformer based little gems.

Here’s some recent test data for linear power supplies.  Looks like no audible difference.  I was considering buying a Small Green Computer, but when I talked to the company they tried to sell me power supply magic that cost more than the server.  When I questioned the need for the power supply equipment, they reported Mac mini ports are noisy.  There is also little negative date about noisy usb and many professionals are using 2018 Mac mini’s for audio mixing.  I’m going to save my money and stick with my Mac Mini.
