Everything said here about upgrading an SMPS to LPS has been my exact experience. It gives a huge performance boost for comparatively little outlay.
If you have a component that accepts external SMPS input, then try out the Farad or something like the Uptone JS-2 (dual outputs which are voltage switchable).
If you have a favorite component with internal SMPS, get a LPS custom built to slot into the mounting holes of the SMPS.
Chord Dave and lInear power supply
I had been using Chord Dave and Mscaler for 3 years.
I installed linear power supply by Farad which cost me around 3k Euros including three separate power supplies.
Wow it is worth every penny.
I get more clear separation of each instrument with more tuneful bass.
Also slight sibilance is gone.
It is Dave +. after modification.
If you own Dave, you had better try it.
The installation is rather handy.
You need to follow instruction.
