"Your "analog" power supply also switches power on and off."
"Also, this being a low frequency switching one may believe that it would be much more audible than the much quicker switching of the digital PS ICE module."
Exactly. That was the reason for Jeff Rowland to put switching power supply in Capri preamp (efficiency not needed here) and using batteries previously.
Jeff Rowland's Continuum 500 is one of the best integrated amps and it has SMPS - certainly not "mass production of popular electronics" - just look at the price tag.
I think that technical reasoning and showing examples won't make any difference. H2O owned by Muralman1 has linear power supply and he believes that's the only solution. If his H20 would use switching power supply he would claim just the opposite. It is not a criticism - just observation.
