Hi Guys,

I've said this before about the 568.2. The power supply is linear and it has no line filtering. That's good! If it is powered by the same AC lines with a component that has a switching power supply the analog outputs tend to sound hard and more like digital on the 568.2. That's bad! The 568.2 has a small transformer with taps that run to each board. Small regulators supply DC to the circuits. The 568.2 with a power regenerator like from PS audio is magical with the 568.2. The 568.2 needs to be on it's own power source to sound its best. I'm getting incredible smooth sound with a deep and large soundfield. The walls and speakers disappear. Without clean power I cringe. It is that much of a difference. I've owned Wadia DAC's in the past and I don't miss it.
