In general, is it better to run a receiver off a good external DC power
supply, or using AC power and the built-in transformer? It would seem to me
that I might get less noise using an external DC power supply, but what is
the general concensus here? Thanks.

I have run my Sat800 both from the external AC to DC brick supply
and from a car battery. The AC/DC supply is nominally 9 vdc and
notoriously full of hash. The Spec's of the Sat800 say it's OK 8 to 15
Volts Dc. The car battery, fully charged at 13.8 volts is noticably
quieter than the AC/DC brick especially when you're trying to hear a
weak one thru headphones.
