Power supply to modem make a difference?


Currently using the SMPS that came with the Xfinity modem. Has anybody noted that a different brand or design makes a difference?

I added an LPS to my main  xfinity modem/router which is located in another room from my main system.  Also, I added another one on my mesh router that feeds my main system’s streamer.   My streamer also has an Lps built into the unit.  Did the Lps’s make a SQ difference?  I don’t know, I did not do blind A/B comparisons and have no plans to.  It certainly didn’t make things worse.  My goal was to reduce noise in the A/C lines.  When I added an Lps to a prior streamer (ifi Zen Stream) it made a noticeable SQ improvement.  Really depends on the device and what you want the Lps to address.
