John, thanks for answering, but I am still a long way from understanding exactly what you are suggesting. I understand if you want to keep something proprietary, but even then I would need to have a clearer "picture" of it. This may be at least partly due to my own "experience" with switch-mode PS, which has been far less satisfactory for me than yours has been for you, at least with respect to amplifiers. At this point, up to now, my interest in switching PS has been limited to trying to wrap my head around the Pure-Power-type "dashed traces" sine waves on the "incoming AC". And even here I have had questions about rampant EMF. Sure, all these things might be "dealt with", as they (apparently) have been with my own DAC. But you are the first person so far who is claiming widespread success based on "theoretical advantages" with switching PS here at GSC. As for the low voltage/current limitations, once we take care of that, why not go DC? For example, for whatever reason, my own (switch-mode) DAC sounds better from a big battery, not to mention that Pure Power users say they can still hear differences in ever-changing upstream AC quality. I guess I still want to know just how switching PS "improves" the sound, apart from "faster caps". Don't get me wrong; if I figure out something "works", I go with it first and "answer questions" later.
Best regards,
