I experimented quite a bit with both SB Touch and the microRendu player. For me, a better PS reduces a sense of "false brightness" that obscures true resolution.
At first, quiet linears sound almost "dark", but I realize that I am now hearing more of the recording and less of the HF noise. I find that to be true with other power related topics such as dedicated lines, aftermarket power cords and conditioners as well.

Yes after cleaning up the power things can seem darker due to less noise and blacker backgrounds. But as you said, after awhile you realize you are actually hearing more.
This is why I tried to start at the outlet and address everything I could [within reason]. Better outlets, Better cords, Regenerated Power, Balanced Power, Isolation, etc. etc.
I've even gone so far as to put the RPI in a Faraday Cage of sorts by the use of double layered Copper Tape inside the metal cases and in the case of my Havana Dac on the inside of the Dac.
Years ago when I lived in Atlanta, an elder in our church worked for Equifax at a large data center there. He asked if I would enjoy a tour and as an IT guy, told him sure. While they used huge Amdahl mainframes at the time, all the incoming data lines were sourced in a small room that was completely lined with copper!
BTW, received the power supply today and it is running the Touch quite nicely. Unit gets warm, but not hot. While it doesn't have the massive amount of filtering (~27000 uF) that the Welborne Labs unit did, first impression is good. Especially given the huge price difference. I think I paid about $250 for the other one.
I guess we are all on the same page.
