LPSU foe modem and router - how important?


How important is powering a modem and router with a linear power supply as opposed to SMPS. I run my system on a powecell 8 SX and a couple Furutech ETP50s with NCF line purifiers for my REL six pack down stream. Using iFi iPower SMPS on router and modem now. Is it recommended to use an LPSU instead? My system is pretty resolving.

Computers do not somehow perform their instructions 'better' or 'with fewer errors'. There are NO errors in CPU or RAM or else computer is simply broken. Ethernet and WiFi do NOT lose any bits or else your mortgage documents or family photos could be modified.

Don't buy snake oil. Data centers are all on switching supplies and Belkin cables. NOTHING happens to the data. Hardware and protocols are designed this way. This is not a Red Book CD.

@fastfreight - there is no such thing as 'digital noise'. Network protocols have error correction and are designed to survive nuclear war.

@knock1 oh I see. A faith.

ASR is BS. They measure OK but ONE parameter which is insufficient. At least they should measure white noise spectrum.

There is pretty good physical explanation for analog cables. As there is for non-error correcting red book or jitter issues in. again, non error correcting coax cables. Ethernet? USB? Never heard any decent explanation.

Ever used Docusign? I guess anyone can modify that… Bits are changing, right?

And let’s discuss musicality of various Linux distros. Because why not? Signal processing is there. Type of code is different. Or brand of RAM. Or Intel vs ARM. No? Why not?

I will tell you why not. Because no one here understands how all this works. All that I hear is “noise” which is, I guess, as far as people get into the computer subject. 

I am still laughing how someone tried to explain me that "stream of bits from server to the streamer gets corrupted with noise".
