Power Supply Raspberry pi3 - moodeuserhorsham - 02-27-2024

Not strictly a moode issue however other than spending 4x the cost of the Pi itself does anyone have a power supply recommendation. I am trying iUniker Power Supply 
I have always used the official power supply but found the connected dac was not getting enough power, probably because I have a dac hat fitted.

In use I never have the volume above a quarter so I probably do not not have a problem but out of interest I have noticed the background noise at full volume is slightly higher using the uniker which lead me to asking the question above.

Or maybe use a Pi 4 instead?

So yes I know just enjoy the music.

thank you in advance

Have you tried the official 5V 3A supply, the one for the Pi-4?
I use that for all my Pi's and no issues whatsoever.

No do you use a C to micro adapter?

Yes, I use a C to Micro adapter.

Quiet now however the official does not have as much juice as the Uniker but it is quiet thank you.
