Hello,
I have a speaker system driver by an RPI running Jriver 20 on it and connected via optical to a Chord Hugo and then power and and B&W CM10 speakers.
I wonder if replacing the stock RPI PSU with a proper leaner PSU would help SQ wise? Because I'm connecting the RPI to the DAC via optical it's supposed to be decoupled. what do you think? Will it make an improvement to the sound?
Another option is to replace the SMPS PSU that came with my Asus AC87 router (which is connected via an ethernet cable to the RPI) and can also inject noise? Again, would a linear PSU be a noticeable improvement?
Please share your thoughts - thanks you.
