Line 6 M5 daisy chain noise

If I daisy chain my M5 along with a T-Rex Bass Juice (nothing else), powering them form a Godlyke Powerall (or from Line 6's PSA, same result), I get this slight electronic noise in the signal. In their support forums, a Line 6 guy said you should give high drain DSP pedals their own supplies because they tend to feed noise back into the system. Is there any workaround for this? I tried using a Diago isolator cable but it wouldn't even start...

I've always found that running digital and analogue pedals from the same power supply is a bit 'hit and miss' with some combinations working reasonably well and some sounding truly awful.

My 'solution' was crude but simple - I use an 'onboard' supply for analogue stuff and a standalone supply for the digital stuff.

I've velcroed the leads together so I just have a 'single' cable running between from the power socket and the pedal board and the whole 'bundle' sits in the pedal board case quite happily when packed away.

I'm trying to keep to a Pedaltrain Mini though, so I don't have room for onboard PSAs... You might be interested in the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power Digital, it seems like it would solve your problem. I don't have room for it though, so I may follow your solution: maybe get all PSAs on a triple plug adapter (I have a Super Synth coming which will mean 3 PSAs for 3 pedals!!!) and tape all cables together so it's kind of like "1" adapter...
