Does that make for power supply makes totally good sense! Any recommendations on where I could acquire a high-quality, linear power supply? Honestly, I do not even know what a Mac-mini requires nor how much it can tolerate.

The ultimate audiophile power supply: Our new Illuminati v3 incorporates the same unique multi-stage ultralow-noise ultrahigh-dynamic filtering, self-resetting protection circuitry, and low-resonance polymerized aluminum composite chassis as our Illuminati v2, but in a larger chassis with more output options.
