I'm using a similar setup. Raspi 4 running Moode --> Topping D10 Balanced --> PA5 (via balanced TRS cables). My 2 Cents:
- No need for extra power for the DAC, the PI runs it from it's integrated 5V via USB. One should not worry about noise etc.
- "Clean" Raspberry power supply is more important for the Raspberry itself. The Raspberry boards (starting with 3B) are sensitive to low voltage. You'd see a "low voltage" message in the kernel ring buffer in Linux ("dmesg" as root user) or it would not be stable at all. So don't worry about some magic power supplies that do better than others. If the Raspberry does not complain, you're good!
- Stay away from "audiophile" hardware like power supplies, cables etc. What you need is a 5V/2A Raspberry-rated power supply (they're cheap on Amazon and someone in this thread pointed out that there are nice bundles for a few bucks), a "normal" TRS (=balanced) cable from your trusted supplier (no extra super expensive gold-plated whatsoever magic cables).
- I've even run it on Raspberry PI 3 and 2 without any issues. I mention this because Raspberry 4 are hard to get these days and there are messages about jitter etc from older Raspberry boards due to USB and ethernet sharing the same bus. Not saying this can't happen but I've not experienced any issues ever.
Here's my setup:
P.S. the first pic has no Raspberry board inside the case and is not wired as you can see
. The second one is fully loaded and it sounds great!
