Is there an LPS in the $50 - $100 range that would provide the necessary power?
Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC
I'm looking to improve the jitter control in my digital setup, which hopefully will create a more analogue presentation. I own a PS Audio PW Memory Transport, which sports a FPGA, and a Nuwave DSD DAC with a scaled-down version of the gate array.
I have owned a Chord which uses this technology and it was like listening to analogue recordings. I sold it only because it's soundstage was very forward, like sitting in the front row of a concert hall. My current PS Audio setup has wide and deep imaging, as does my Atma-Sphere preamp.
I have auditioned the Schiit Grundir and it was a bit too fast in the attack and transients, but had the dynamics and deep imaging that I like. So, I guess what I'm looking for is a unit with a laid-back, realistic musical presentation.
The Mytek Digital Stereo192 DSD and Blue Circle DAC are in my price range, but there is no way to audition them.
So any recommendation and advice is appreciated. DSD preferred, budget is about $1200 used.

@leemaze, nothing under $100 that I know of, except maybe used. For a low cost LPS, check the archives for info on the Teradak or Swagman Labs. The Teradak seems to be well liked by quite a few members (made in China). The iFi Purifier requires a 5V power supply and 3 Amps would be more than enough (Teradak). These seem to be the most popular for powering a digital device... https://www.ebay.com/itm/TeraDak-DC-30W-TOUCH-DC5V-3A-Hi-Fi-For-Audio-Linear-Power-Supply/1811442340...

The Sbooster seems to be very highly rated, but at a higher cost... https://www.amazon.com/Sbooster-High-Performing-Various-Preamps-Headphone/dp/B06XTXRPMP/ref=sr_1_2?i... |
