RE: Useful info - thanks

A PI as any other computer appreciates rock solid and clean supplies.

The PI onboard supply is all but a high quality PS/regulator implementation.
Pair that with a mediocre external supply and you might see weird things happen. Especially if you start with things like overclocking, heavy DSP
work asf.


Beside that the PI 5V rail is offered to external devices such as HAT DACs or your HifiBerry (I've been running a HB DAC+ Pro of that 5V rail for some time).
In such as case the quality of 5V would have a direct impact on your DAC performance.
The same applies to USB BUS powered audio devices.

IMO the quality of the PI supply does matter in many cases.
