$100-200 linear power supply


Trying to remove the digital glare from my Fosi Audio TDA7498E amp. Would changing to a linear power supply do the trick? Speakers are similar to Devore O/baby and Micr/O and listen at 70-80dB max.

Open to any suggestions. Would any of these be suitable?

I like this because it uses FRED’s but only 2 amps at 12VDC.

Hmmm …. Spending $100 to $200 extra on an external linear power supply for a cheap $80 MSRP FOSI mini integrated amp, (per the FOSI website page) ?

Everything in this crazy hobby is built to its price-point…., full stop.

That annoying digital “glare”, or digital “edge”, or “brittleness” is a direct function of the minimalist build quality of the amp’s components themselves, that isn’t going to be magically eliminated. 

.I don’t see the merit in an approach of a new LPS at equal to or double the MSRP price of the amp unit itself. I’d put the $200 toward the cost of a better amp first.

carry on and choose wisely, sir.
