The thought occurred to me the other day about installing a power conditioner on the wireless router I use for the SqueezeBox. Granted, any piece of electronics would appreciate having cleaner power, but from a sound quality standpoint I'm curious to know if any of you have any personal experience doing this. Did you notice a difference?

Thanks fellas,

I'm inclined to think it can't matter.  The SB is galvanically isolated from the network (meaning, they don't share grounds).  Also, the way networking works is a stack buffer, so its not like the router can add jitter through power supply contamination.  I personally wouldn't look for an answer in search of a problem.

The only way I think it will help is to reduce the amount of noise injected in the the house AC line by the switching power supply.

If you feel up to it, you can track down ALL electrical appliances that use switchers: Cable/Satellite converters, DVD players, video game consoles, desktop computers, laptop computers, cell phone chargers, etc and install power isolation/conditioning.

This is not to improve the operation of the device plugged into the conditioner, but to reduce the noise your system will pick up.
