Hi all,
I know this has been done to death but regardless of reading pretty much here on, or if a linear PSU benefits sound quality.
I have the Audiophonics Raspdac kit Raspdac kit with the V4 DAC, I power the streamer using the DAC's power input, this is said to be a much better way than using the Pi's USB to power both Pi and DAC.
At moment I use a Switched mode PSU that can pump out up to 4 amp continuous into the DAC's power input so there's no issue with current draw, I've set it to 6v as this is recommended by Audiophonics.
Would there be any improvements with sound quality using a linear PSU to the DAC instead of the SMPSU? Remember, the Pi gets power from the DAC.
Many thanks,
Mark
