For the past few years I have used an Anker lithium battery supply for the Touch, a step up from the SMPS provided. Just before xmas I noticed the case on the Anker was staring to swell and I was concerned it would eventually go on fire. As the power supply had a SMPS it was a must to get a Linear supply. So a week ago I received a TeraDak 30w power supply from the far east. All the conversations I have read about linear supplies are true, a punchier presentation, better imagery and separation. High notes hang in the air longer. Maybe a linear supply for the router next?

Absolutely My router took a step up with a Zero Zone

I've heard good things about TeraDak but never come across one. That's another one to recommend as well as the Zero Zone, then.

Definitely worth getting one for the router. I’ve had great results with the zero zone too.

Getting the LPSU is a good move, but something to consider is that the Touch itself has a switching regulator inside, switching 5vdc down to 3dcv, and creating a noise source that can get back into the LPSU.
A small ferrite clamp at the where the TeraDak cable enters the Touch would be beneficial.

Thanks for the tip Chris.

It makes for a tiny subjective improvement in sound quality, but in my case it proved worthwhile. I haven't played around with my system in a very long time. It does what I need.
