First impressions were very favourable - a huge improvement in the bass, in fact on certain tracks the bass was almost too much - down to the recording I'm sure. Separator by Radiohead sounded the best I've ever heard, Colin Greenwood's playing more noticeable and musical than previous (ripped CD ).
Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark - 24 bit FLAC, an album I know very well was again the best I've ever heard it, lyrics were definitely clearer and the musicians playing became more defined and separated yet more closely intertwined as a band playing together. As others have commented, spending £500 plus on a PS for a £90 DAC does seem a bit crazy but I think this is more to do with the superb value the Pi / IQAudio DAC represents.
Pleased to read you are enjoying the linear power supply. In my case it is just powering the Pi motherboard as digital output is over USB.
