New generation switched mode power supplies are much better now, but personally I still prefer a linear power supply - ease of repair and if properly designed more headroom.
I suspect that is the general consensus here.

Simplest Linear PSU?
Which linear power supplies can you recommend that have the least amount of miniaturized SMD and semiconductor nonsense?
I wish Audionote made a stand alone PSU. I know Weiss does, it looks good, but pricey. Looking for something simple already made to DIY with.
thanks in advance!!

When researching streamers I found Antipodes philosophy in regard to mixing smps and lps singularly interesting, came close to pulling trigger on K50. In the end went with custom build with LPS, choice was not about aversion to their proprietary use of smps. But other than Antipodes I'm not convinced of any smps being the equal or preferable to lps. I use lps on every single component in my streaming setup, including modem and router, better than any smps I've used. |
LessLoss R2R DAC with 2 onboard FireWire 640X. Wonderful and I agree with @mijostyn why by gear you need to upgrade power supply.

@jerryg123 , sh-t Jerry. The last thing you want to do is agree with me. That is the kiss of death. |
