HIS iClear claims to reduce noise, really just fills an empty PCIe slot {Engadget}
Jun 25th 2008 8:16AM That is oversimplifying, the rectification is right, but that after is the relm of switch mode power supply, you try pushing 500W with a transformer!
From a board point of view the purpose of the card, I believe, is to bring those decoupling capacitors closer to the PCI supply rails, these are 3.3V, the benefit will be those onboard audio chip, reducing those odd blimping hissing you hear on the headphones, cause by digital signal ramming about.
This is not unlike electronic test equipment that fits into the PC driven by software, on those, to remove any interference, additional isolated power supply is build onto the board.
It is plausible that such a simple application could work and be effective.

Sony XEL-1 estimated to last customers only half as long as expected {Engadget}
May 8th 2008 8:03AM I think DisplaySearch extrapolation is may be somewhat dubious (no acess to full report anyway), but it does shows the color gamut staying constant throughout the 1,000 hour test, as far as I know, OLEDs of different color tends to degrade differently, and in this case, Sony seems to have managed that problem, which can't be a bad thing right?
