Which of these would make more sense?

Hello guys,

 

Here is a picture of my current setup. Please note that the purple circles (Paul Hynes LPS and Mutec Ref 10 ) are currently NOT present in the circuit. My music server is currently powered by a HDPlex 200W LPS.

 

I am thinking of either of the 2 things:

1. Upgrade my power supply to Paul Hynes / Sean Jacobs. But considering I am using a network renderer and have galvanic isolation, will it make a big difference?

2. Upgrade the clock to the Mutec REF10.

 

Which of these do you think I should do first?

nice. Are u suggesting to eliminate the renderer? The reason I wanted the renderer was for Spotify streaming. Was also thinking it would provide galvanic isolation from the server.

box solution. Sell items you don’t need, and spend your budget on best LPS there is, Sean Jacobs DC4

I was considering (and in touch with) Sean Jacob’s dc3. Is this better than Paul Hynes ?

Sean could make you mutli-rail LPS. a 10amp DC3 for your CPU. 3 rails ATX, & 1 rail for JCAT card. Total 5 rails.

 

Thank you! I just spoke to @Nenon and he suggested the same thing. I am revisiting my spaghetti chain now. We had a very productive discussion about what I could do!
