I too found that the SB was far better as a transport than I expected, however I must admit that when I changed over to my custom built linear power supply there was a very large improvement over the switching one that came with the SB.
I found the linear supply had a far smoother less grainy sound and was had a more musical and dynamic sound all together.
My PS does use high quality parts though, like a large pair of Black Gate reservoir caps Schottky diodes ect.
If you can try one out for yourself I think you might be pleasantly surprised and if you can make one yourself without it costing too much that would be even better :oD
I am planning to send my SB off to Wayne at Bolder Cable for his digital mods, even though the RAKK DAC has very good jitter rejection I still think the mod will benefit me as Wayne also improves other areas like the on board regulation and he uses Black Gate caps throughout plus it is far cheaper than the Pacecar combo which I am sure is very good it’s just way out of my price range.
If you do try a linear supply I hope you hear the great improvement to the SB that I did.
