RE: * NEW * Alternative approach to CPU (P4) power supply

I just did the P4 bypass tweak with a spare Antec PSU I had, and it's a nice SQ improvement! Whereas before, the DAC was slightly better than the 1212m analog, now it's a very close race, with the 1212m continuing to have a very slightly more solid bottom end, but the midrange is basically equal now (DAC won before). What's really interesting is the Mogami (1212m) vs. AZ Silver Ref (DAC) sound the same, but with completely different DACs. I must have a different weak link now, probably speakers, but maybe the amp equally so.

Are all the Antec Earthwatts PSU's ultra quiet running? My spare Antec 450w PSU is not silent but it's fairly quiet.

Anyone using fanless ATX PSUs like Silverstone makes?
