Best powersupply for PC audio?

This is a question that I would like to find an answer on. My PC seems supplied with a standard mass market powersupply. I think that a replacement is definitely neccesary for better quality audio. But so far I have found nothing on the topic. Could anybody give some useful information on this?

The highest quality PC power supplies I am familiar with are made by PC Power and Computing. Will they improve the sound of your PC audio? Dont know.

Get around the problem by using a USB sound card with digital output and go to an outboard DAC. This way also reduces RF noise coming from the rest of the PCs.

And it's probably a lot easier than to replace a power supply.

Remember, that the power supply does not power your speakers in any way. The only advantage I see in getting a 'better' power supply would be in noise and RF within the PC itself.

Make sure you place your sound card as far away from your power supply and network cards as possible.

Check out the DMX 6fire system. I have been using this and it is great.
