The answer is in my post (which I linked to): "I use voltage regulator based on LT1083 for both 12V and 20V for 16-24V version of Pico".

 

And these regulator board I use was these:

This is the same as feed a pico with eg such one:

I suppose you mean full rail/multirail when you say "straight". Pico is not a sensible option if you are looking for the best possible SQ. That's also the reason I did that test more than two years ago. If you read earlier in the thread, there were three manufacturers who claimed the opposite: "I had a small discussion/email Exchange with Paul Pang couple of months back and he thinks that if the linear psu (non-atx) has a good a/c transformer and regulator, their is no need for going linear atx route and a pico will just work fine. Incidentally, two other well known psu Company (Uptone & Mojo audio) Believes the same".

 

But as said, posts is quite old. And now I have made some new discoveries. But when we talk about comparing Pico with multirail LPS, so it's still up to date. I repeat: Pico has nothing to do in a pure and good Audio PC, in my opinion.

I agree

I have used an HDPlex for a long time to my Media/TV computer   (Netflix/Viaplay HD)
Seeing a big improvement on the picture compared with Pico Psu
