IMHO this opened up a whole new can of worms, the same Linux distro turned out to sound different if we're compiling the kernel etc. on a drive that's powered by different external PSUs

That's pretty darn cool if those differences were actually significant enough to warrant the cost of a flagship PSU.

Wow so that's amazing ... do you think that if I write the kernel drivers on a battery powered laptop they will have different SQ?
