    Which motors are you using?

    You should be fine running the M542 drivers at 48V with a linear PSU, but I'd be inclined to get higher voltage drivers (e.g. DQ860MA) and run them at about 70V as the difference in price shouldn't be that great. The current ratings of the higher voltage drivers will be greater, so they should last a long time as they wont heat up much.

    From an electrical point of view there's nothing wrong with mixing drivers of different voltages, so long as they are each supplied with the correct voltage which you plan to do, so nothing to worry about.
