Thanks Jwg1749. So far I've only changed the SMPS power 'brick' of my former PicoPSU clone (DC ATX converter) and the clone itself for the HDPlex models. In the near future I might change this to a full linear ATX PSU. Difference is that I now have a HDPlex linear PSU that supplies 19V to the HDPlex DC ATX converter which converts it to the voltages requeired by the mainboard (including 3.3, 5, and 12V). A full linear ATX PSU is more expensive but is better, at least theoretically because it directly supplies the different voltages to the mainboard without conversion. Downside: it's more expensive and less power efficient. edit: I forgot I also use a linear power supply to power my ethernet switch now. To this switch my music server has a connection. The Devialet has a direct ethernet connection to the music server but is indirectly/electrically also connected to this switch of course.
The improved power setup improved things somewhat, not a day and night difference but noticable. Especially the highs got cleaner, less grainy.
Next step: powering the SSD separately with one of the ordered Anker battery supplies (the other one I'll use for the Cubox i4 Pro). I've read a lot of reports that isolating the noisy SSD drive really helps things forward, especially in USB setups so I'm going to try it as well.
