If you reference the Walt Jung article you can see that the impedance begins to fall off at 1kHz or so at 6dB/octave. To put this in perspective, W. Jung measured the rejection of the cascode DN2540 CCS at 1kHz to be -150dB. This represents an impedance of about 32M ohms. At 130kHz this drops to about -115dB. The impedance is now about 560k ohms, a fifty fold difference. Why be concerned about this out of audio band crap? Because devise nonlinearities can inter-modulate this crap with the audio signal. That's why I believe it's best to not generate this crud in the PS in the first place.
