Computer Audio Asylum

Here's a better question:

why bother using a non-standard supply like the "Winmate" when *much better* standard ATX switching PSUs are available? FYI, the recommended cMP ATX PSU, Antec EA430, has a measured ripple of 6mV.
And the obvious answer to your question: because a computer powered by (even if only partially) linear supplies is "sonically" superior than its SMPS-powered counterpart!
Why else? Convenience, less heat emission, or 80plus efficiency?
