I also understand the DAC has a direct 2 volt output eliminating the OP-Amps that does color the sound to some extent.
Like the Squeezebox Touch, it uses an AKM DAC with internal 2V output.
Unlike most built-in power supplies it has an internal voltage regulator eliminating the need for a $70 linear power supply that normally produces the best sound from a DAC.
All electronics use regulators. Yes, you can use the USB output from your computer's SMPS power supply.
