Macmini and MacBook with lineair power supply?

Is there a way to use a linear power supply, the sound (music) will be much better. Want to buy a new one, and take a new subscription at Apple Music. Spotify has a bigger choice that's the reason I have a premium membership there. But lossless is much better, but really my DAC sounds much better with the sBooster lineair power supply. Sure with battery power you have the same (clean) power, but when you use the Mac the whole day, the battery is soon at his end of life.

MacAir charger too Big to stay in the wall power outlet The charger of MacAir is very big and thick and most time it`s needed an extension to avoid it to fall when put in the wall to charge. Would suggest that the Big box charger could be put in the middle of the cord or in the end closer to the computer instead of in the end at the wall.

Perhaps the Taiwanese TeraDak has something for M1 Mac mini. Maybe it's worth to write them and ask about it.

Thanks Marco for the quick response.

But it's not possible with the new Mac mini version.

I'd still give a try. If they don't answer, then they are unchecked from the list.

Sbooster is a Dutch company: maybe it's easier to get in touch with them.

Good to know that they offer an M1 compatible model.
