Well for me the differences were easy to pick up in my particular set up. Remember, my LSA components were placed inside my dac thus turning my dac into a dac with volume control. This eliminated the need for a set of ICs and RCA connectors. I also used some very good silver/gold solid core wire in cotton from Jupiter Condenser to wire the LSA board inside my dac.
I prefer the battery over the wall wart in my system finding it sounded more relaxed and engaging. Just wanted to listen more with the battery. The difference here was slight and some may like the linear wall wart better because it did seem a tad, just tad, more dynamic and upfront.
However the TeraDak supply simply put a big smile on my face immediately. It delivers the best of both the battery and linear wall wart and then some! I immediately heard more powerful and impactful bass. This was evident the moment the first song began playing. In addition, the music in general was more dynamic and alive. One final area of improvement that I found most noticeable was a blacker background with the instruments emerging with more realism, resolution, and sense of space and real estate between instruments. This was quite surprising to me and very fun to listen to. I really did not expect this result.
I use two amplifiers and both revealed the same improvement. An 845 DHT tube SET amp and a Lector VM200 hybrid amp that is direct coupled. Both work great with my set up and the LSA .
