Thoroughly "Touched" (long)

[E-Stat]

I went whole-hog and got a 30' coax; this from Blue Jeans Cable.

My cable is likewise from BJC. The difference is that for me the player will be only a shelf away from the DAC. A half meter would be sufficient. I'm not convinced that having a huge loop of cable would necessarily be better than what is considered optimum.

Re. a Welbourne Labs power supply ...

Looks like I could use his PSREG module. It's $85 assembled including transformer; not bad but I'd need a fuse holder and some additional hardware.

While it might run a bit more, I think the PSX kit would provide ever lower noise and stiffness. You could leverage your DIY skills for making an enclosure and cabling. Also, I don't see a 9 volt option for the PSREG, while the PSX can be set for any voltage between 5 and 24 volts.
