Some facts which are never considered by the power supply “experts”:ġ. And the “maybe I can hear a difference” bias is based on the outdated knowledge of “self-made experts” without any technical background.

Audiophiles don’t have proper measuring equipment, A/B testing gears to hear and see the reality. Today there are amazing high-frequency switching devices, and new circuits which offer better result than a traditional 50-60Hz linear power supply. Yes, 20-30 years ago it was absolutely true that in most cases the linear power supply was better. The problem with an smps in general in the audiophile community is the “generalisation”. The light of the display and the microprocessor’s operations can’t sense any difference between an smps and a linear power supply. The icOn’s external wall wart power supply doesn’t have a direct connection with the signal path – because that is a passive circuit – and is galvanically separated from the icOn’s inner power supply circuits. Sorry, but a linear power supply doesn’t improve the sound of an icOn 4PRO.
