Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply


I have bought some Linear Power Supplies as upgrades.

Wondering the options to upgrade the cable from the LPS to component.

There appear a range of options, with some more expensive than the LPS purchase price.

I subscribe to the notion that small upgrades/improvements are cumulative.

In my situation I stream wirelessly to a wifi extender, then run an Ethernet cable to my switch/streamer. Recent purchase being an LHY AS6 switch before my streamer with SR purple fuse (replacing an Uptone EtherRegen). Old house, and haven’t yet got the Ethernet cable (Blue Jeans) installed under the house. You could try an Ethernet cable from your mesh to your streamer? A possibility?

Have some guys over on The Audio Standard using a Xangsane pure silver Cat8 ethernet cable. Reasonably priced on Aliexpress, and decent result. Worth a try perhaps? Plenty of choice there.

Had to check my internet cupboard.

Have the FiiO on the modem, and Plixir Elite on the router.

The FiiO used was around NZ$100, while the Plixir was $900?

Before that I had a dual 12v LPS from China, and tried a couple of Teradak LPS. They all ran too hot for an enclosed space.

Thanks, Jerry.  My wireless setup is a bit different than yours, but I understand your points re: separate LPS units and cumulative gains.  I will continue down the road you and SNS have helped clarify and see where it takes me.  I'm travelling soon, until mid-August.  Hopefully, soon after my return, I'll have some results to share.  Thanks again to you and SNS.

Just saying though @rtilden 

My system has been cobbled together. Certainly not top end, although very happy with the Antipodes K21 and Innuos Phoenix USB. Other than the amp, all have been purchased in the last four years. Plenty of reading, discussion and thought before ordering them. Many items from overseas.

Best advice I've had is from theaudiostandard.net but some from here as well.

Like SNS, I am wary giving advice. However, these are what I have added, and I'm extremely happy with the result.
