Is a switching power supply messing with my internet connection?

I just tried to add an old Moodlab DAC to my Roku which I use to stream internet content to my TV/music system. I use its wireless connectivity and haven't had a problem,... until now. The "wall wart" power supply for the DAC is a 12V, 1.5 A switch mode unit. Since everything else is the same, I'm guessing this is the culprit. I really don't want to listen the Roku ruin my Pandora play lists with its internal DAC any longer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This Parts Express power supply will deliver 12 volts without switching. You will need to find a cable and connector that will interface with your Roku.

You could also look into a new or used SqueezeBox unit to replace the Roku for audio streaming. The Touch will give you the ability to send 24/96 files from your computer to your system.

Just got that PS for my SB, also needed  this adapter set:

Pretty easy to setup, you pick the adapter that fits and stick it on the end of the power cord so the markings line up (+ ones), works great.
