Hard to tell. Most of the time linear power supply is better, but well designed SMPS can be much quieter - just look at some companies like Rowland or Benchmark that would not use linear supplies because they are too noisy.
Question About Linear Power Supplies and Streamers
I’m looking for opinions regarding potential benefits of adding a linear power supply to my server/streamer. If I’m only using the digital output from the streamer, would I realize any benefits from adding the LPS? My streaming setup is router to Innuos Zenmini Mk II connected by ethernet, with Ayre QB9 DSD dac connected by USB to the streamer which is in turn connected to my integrated amp through the dac’s balanced outputs.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
