External Linear Power Supplies

I use many of the iFi low-noise power supplies. In my experience they are well-worth the money. Definitely better than the cheap wall warts that come with the equipment. I haven’t ventured into the linear power supply realm yet, but I have a Teradak linear power supply in the mail as I type this. I plan on using it to power my DAC. If I remember, I will post my impressions in this thread. 

An update on my previous post after more listening: This upgraded linear power supply is way better than my previous power supply! I’m finding myself listening to the songs on CDs that I don’t normally listen to because this new power supply has given those tracks new life. Impressive. And this is one of the cheaper linear power supplies!

Reporting in after receiving my Teradak power supply and using it to power my DAC. I’ve only had one short listening session and what I notice off the bat is a small increase in detail and a reduction of digital glare. (The annoying sibilance in the singer’s voice and with some instruments on certain tracks is diminished which is a good thing.) Does anyone know if power supplies have a break in period?

Don’t know if it was break in or me adjusting to the sound but everything is sounding cleaner and more dynamic now! That’s with a linear power supply on my DAC. Does anyone know if I would get benefit out of a linear power supply on my tube buffer which sits between the DAC and power amp?
