Hi

I recently bought a linear power supply for my music server.
[ The music server is close in specs to Computer Audiophile's Zuma (a bit more updated) ]

I bought two pieces, one went to my friend, who has same music server, but with Firewire card, and I have SOtM tX-USBexp.

So far, my communication with Ryan from Core Audio was way above the average - very professional, quick, precise.

These power supplies' build quality is excellent, including the 12V power cord (I have the 'S3').

I cannot say regarding the difference in quality between PicoPSU brick 160W power supply and Kora (I installed new Kora PSU right from the start),
but my friend couldn't be happier saying that the sound is more analog with fuller body.

For around 600$ - I would say that this is one of my best purchases so far :)

Mine broke after a year. I replaced it with a $30 12v smps. The smps sounds better.
