Advantages with an outboard power supply

I’ve read that adding a linear power supply such as a Teddy Pardo will greatly enhance the overall performance of components that use a switch mode wall wart power supply I.e. my RME DAC. Any personal experience with this addition? Liking the features of the RME has me thinking if this will take it to another level it may be worth + - $500 cost vs. buying a new DAC?

reading some articles and watching some YouTube videos and they say it will not help a digital signal.

Of course it can help a digital signal. An LPS is replacing the stock power supply of the component. If it’s well matched to your device, expect to have a lower noise-floor than SMPS, lower ripple effect, more reserve power.

I’ve used one on a dac and a reclocker.
