Got further word from PS Audio, answering additional questions on my part. The conclusion I've arrived at, could be thus summarized:
The PS Audio P3 does not achieve the de-coupling from the mains effect the IS Tx does. The IS Tx does not yield perfect sinewave AC either. Therefore, although the PS Audio P3 also cleans the power through re-generation, if both could co-exist, this would be the best of both worlds. Besides, the IS Tx would be protecting the expensive PS Audio P3 from AC accidents/disturbances.
With this in mind, I would need to assess if the combination of IS Tx feeding the PS Audio P3, or else, the PS Audio P3 by itself, would sound and behave dynamically best. Of course, the former scenario would be ideal. The only caveat is the power ceiling would lower from 750 watts to 500 watts, as the IS Tx would be the weakest power rated device in the chain.
In my system, 500 watts are more than enough, and if a larger amp comes in the future, it would also be enough, since I would never acquire a larger than 15-25 watts amp anyway.
Now, I just need to get my hands on a PS Audio P3 bargain!
