sandyk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 This makes total sense, as those two different outputs likely provide some degree of isolation between the two feeds. If one just connects a single supply to both the MoBo and the USB card, the noise from the MoBo (actually the modulation of the power supply caused by the high speed switching components on the MoBo) will feed back and be shared to the USB card via the power supply wiring, no matter what type of supply it is. Surprisingly, even then it doesn't give the same degree of isolation as 2 separate PSUs. I found this when I decided to put two +5V linear PSU PCBs with JLH Add-ons in the same case , but using separate transformer secondary windings. They didn't sound as quite as good as 2 separate PSUs. Alex How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area.
