Unfortunately an acoustic measurement will not show if the psu made any difference, which it almost certainly didn't.I measured the frequency response of my speaker of the two power supplies.
Measurement was made 1M away from the right speaker.
The SPL is almost identical, but the phase and harmonic distortion show bigger different. I don't know how they translate to what I heard tho.
Does the RME sound this bad? I noticed a lot of people change or try to change the power supply, I guess if you buy a 1k dac and start swaping boxes it means you don't like the sound,
It's a bit the same for the Chord people , even though manufacture still doesn't recommend any psu upgrade..
Forget about that... The RME sounds, works (and measures) great right out of the box.Does the RME sound this bad? I noticed a lot of people change or try to change the power supply, I guess if you buy a 1k dac and start swaping boxes it means you don't like the sound,

I was just trying to prove to my self that there is a *different* in sound, by comparing before and after.Unfortunately an acoustic measurement will not show if the psu made any difference, which it almost certainly didn't.
Find someone to help you to perform double blind test with stock and aftermarket PSU.m. Trying to find some *objective* way to confirm what I am hearing.

Since the difference in measurement is so tiny, if I am able to pass a double-blind test would it make me a golden ear?Find someone to help you to perform double blind test with stock and aftermarket PSU.
I liked to believe power supply won't change the sound, but my recent experience tells me otherwise. I could be wrong. Trying to find some *objective* way to confirm what I am hearing.
If an engineer working for me designed a mains powered product and it needed some sort of external mains filter to work properly he would be looking for another job.You are not wrong. The changes in sound you hear are probably also caused by dirty mains power. These distortions travels through any psu. Try good mains filtering and i think you will be surprised.
So you're saying that objective measurements are useless since this DAC objectively measures better than D10. Got it.The reason why people want to "upgrade" their ADI-2 Dac is because it sounds good but no better than their former Topping D10.

Nice thread on power supplies and the RME ADI-2 DAC.
I talked about how it sounds not how it measures.So you're saying that objective measurements are useless since this DAC objectively measures better than D10. Got it.
