Tipical DC-DC converters have an inherent R&N due to the harmonics of the swithing, isn´t? For example, this one, 80mV

Linear PSU, are usually more quiet or not?
Let´s think now, take a battery to a pure sine wave inverter, to get AC, and then use the current linear PSU.
What woud be the advantages/disvantages of each? What one do you think would be quieter?
A quote from other forum:
If understand it ok, the inverter has the same problem since it need a DC-DC section. My question is, if in the AC to DC process, at the linear PSU, the posible switching noise gets slower, for the proportion voltage/noise. I mean, once the 230 VAC is converted to for example 40VAC the swithing noise would decrease in the same proportion? and maybe so be neglectable, or not? To simplify the question, is any advantage to go to 230VAC first, then again to +/- 24 on a preamp, or would be just the same, as going directly from DC to +/- 24V?
I´m quite confuse with this.

I said that because I have been considering such a sine-output inverter design recently and there are a lot of chances to generate gentle RFI with such a circuit. Note that the most harmless part is the DC-DC converter, since the output PWM section is a high voltage class-D amplifier that is forced to perform hard switching of 200V to 400V over a *conducting* diode in each clock cycle (If two phases are used to obtain 230V AC, then hard switching happens twice in each cycle)
