Best linear power supply for Nucleus now?

IFI’s response to the request: Hi Vad , We would recommend the new 15v iPower Elite for use with the Roon Nucleus. If you connect an External Nas drive it also will sound better with a quieter power supply .Be careful if connecting a external USB hard drive as they may take to much current from the Roon and make the power supply run hotter than normal .

What do you believe you are going to gain by upgrading the power supply of a computer?

With respect, spend your money on something that is going to make a difference.

The Nucleus is a computer. The power supply is just an energy source. The required voltages for the CPU/RAM and drives are derived from the main energy source via on-motherboard SMPSs.

There’s no benefit to adding a LPS.
