Power supplies don't have that much impact. The capacitors of very good overdone audio gear power supplies will dry out and then they are as all the other power supplies. Most of the people who claim that they need overdone power supplies don't replace those capacitors, since they don't realize that the very good power supplies became averaged power supplies. Everything near to a computer, that is able to do it, will receive electric smog, so it's very likely that there is some "digital" noise received by gear connected to PCI(e) cards. OTOH ADAT cables can't receive this electric smog ;).
