LPS on a NUC or ROON NUCLEUS ?


Helllo everyone
I'm puzzled about the offers for  Linear Power Supplies to power a ROON NUCLEUS or other CORE device . How can this improve SQ when all the music flows through network cables?PS: I'm sure the question was asked 1000 times but I didn't find a thread.RegardsOliivier

I have 2 NAIM servers ( Atom w stripped down operating system ). They come from factory w SMPS w ferrite choke. I get better sonics with Teddy Pardo LPS. Importantly the system benefits because the SMPS is not dumping junk back into my AC line. All my remaining SMPS go thru a stand alone Furman power conditioner on a dedicated line.

You got great advice from poster above - try it and hear ?

Let us know what you observe.

If you are using Roon Nucleus as a transport to connect directly to a DAC, then a linear power supply will definitely improve the sound (as long as your audio system has the resolution to show this difference).  If you have soft or laid back amps/speakers, you might not see this improvement.

Teddy Pardo has a Roon/NUC power supply:

But you can also look for a 19V 3.5A (or 4A / 5A) power supply.  Teradak may have one on ebay that is less than Teddy Pardo.
