So you remove an oscillator big deal... so where's the benefit when you "re-oscillate" it all over again immediately as the power enters the Mac? You can put the purest of DC into the Mac but switchers within the box pretty much negate all that you've just attempted to do with the outboard linear supply.
And BTW, this foolishness applies to other gadgets and PC's that use distributed internal switching regulators.
Where's the benefit? (Oh, I forgot about the monetary benefit for those who sell "audiophile" aftermarket outboard linear power supplies).
