    Do you need linear power supply for DACs?

    I almost misread it as connecting them in parallel, which may not be a good idea... but looks doing it in series is a smart way to get quality 10V PSU :)

Or just solder myself with some spare canares I have. I have cable with locking RCA connectors but that will be the...

    Thanks! Indeed it looked like a much more modern software! That's true. I didn't said all DAC sounded the same though, and I'm always curious on which "part" they made the differences.

    So I just created an account here to post my findings. Being new to how linear PSUs as they said, could improve sounds, I ordered a custom LM317-based linear PSU along with Topping D50s, to replace my DacMagic Plus which "I think" sounds pretty harsh for my new speaker setup. However, the...
