Yes that is the initial observation. I do however have my original wall-wart PSU still sitting next to it so I will switch back in a week to see if I can confirm this or if it's a negligible performance difference.

But just to be clear here, the MC200 does not send a FLAC file to the endpoint. Like my NAS does to my HDI Dune. The MC200 decodes the FLAC into PCM and puts it in UDP packets over the network.

I myself wondered why it would ever make a difference as "hifi-advice.com" reported an audible difference between MC200, MD600 and having a long chain of switches in between.

But at the moment I'm just enjoying the linear PSU. smile
