@rodge827 , So you're saying that you use the 9V iPower in combination with the LPS-1 ?

Thanks for the info, Chris. I'm sure an external LPS makes all the difference.Dave, I've read user reviews of the Gustard X20 Pro and it seems the way to go is with the modded unit. Ric Schultz is charging about $400, which still makes it very aff...

I've been on the prowl for a used Exogal Comet or Holo Spring and I came across the Gustard X20, which can be modded by Ric Schultz.Any info on this DAC?

@rodge827 ,  I'm thinking about trying the iFi SPDIF iPurifier, but noticed that the input for a PSU is USB. How would you connect a LPS to the iPurifier? I'd like to use a toroidal PSU but they use a DC cable with 5.5, 2.1mm head size. 
Why does FM radio sound so good?
Classical and college radio sounds excellent thru my home system; clean is a good way to describe it. I’m using a vintage Denon tuner. Rock stations sound good as well, except for the loud compressed bass.  
Why does FM radio sound so good?
Good call, Cleeds. Carts were clunky, but the later generation of tape decks used to rec/playback were first-rate. When making a promo or any recording, you would hit a button and a cue tone would be recorded into the tape. That marked the end of ... 
Why does FM radio sound so good?
It used to be vinyl with 2 or 3 TT’s in the control room (the DJ booth). There was a large library with many thousands of records which were very worn and scratched until the Music Director would replace them, (very rarely). R-R tape was also used...

Open question; is it worth experimenting with a Toslink cable from my transport to DAC (in case there is a grounding issue)?I'm not dealing with computer audio at this time since I need to have my Mac serviced.

Dave, I believe the clocking performed by the FGPA in the Exogal makes a reclocker unnecessary. But, everyone of us would have still tried for that extra bit of perfection.I'll bet the Purist cable also is excellent. I have all Purist analogue cab...

A couple updates for all you kind gentlemen regarding my quest for better SQ from my digital. I’m now using shielded cables from the DAC and PWT into my Brickwall (which uses ferrite filtering), plus some PS Audio Noise Harvesters and the results ...

Thanks, Dave. They display the pics of the LPS-1 including the PCB from both sides, so it seems they're proud of their design. I imagine they are filtering any leakage to a very small amount.OTOH, the JS-2 LPS looks awesome. But that is some serio...

@dlcockrum , the UltraCap LPS-1 looks like a great device. But what is the advantage of the LPS-1 over a traditional LPS with a toroidal transformer, e.g.; Teddy Pardo?  According to the Uptone website, it has superior isolation to prevent AC leak...

Dave, I just realised your link is to the Wyred DSD SE version. That would be an upgrade. Thanks.

Thanks Dave, understood.

I had a thought and before I make a purchase on a new DAC, I'm going to upgrade the power source to my PSA. I'm currently using all Audience PC's, which I've learned are unshielded. I'm sure a shielded PC is recommended for digital devices.I've ch...
