RE: Apogee Mini DAC which input is better?

The inherent sound quality of the overall DAC itself will reveal more than which input your choose to use on it, Coxial, optical, Balanced, USB or Firewire. The Apogee Mini DAC sounds outstanding on any input. My personal preference is for Firewire attached to my Mac, coaxial to my CD transport, and optical to my Blu-Ray player. And I run the balanced analog outputs to my linestage.

As for using an external linear power supply on the Apogee, you'll have to try it for yourself. I don't think it will matter that much because the internal power supply circuitry is based on a switching regulator.
