In theory yes, but in practise no. I would be a very odd setup where a powered unit with it's own internal PSU also takes power from an external supply for part of it circuitry. Also even this were to be done the audio board would still be susceptible to EMI from all the other electronic and HDDs in the same casing.

So why not move the audio board to it's own case and power it from an external PSU; do this and we get back to the MS200 design.
