Linear Power supplies for DACs...?

Is there real SQ benefits or is it placebo snake oil?
i have a Chord Qutest and it has a wall wart. Lots of people say there’s real benefit to adding an external LPS. 
Plenty of choices ranging from $50 - $500.
Sure, a home audition is ideal.

but, what do you guys think?

Not just for the Qutest, but in general for DACs.

I tried using my Oppo 105 direct to amp and found using a preamp much better

Then, I bought a LPS from Ebay + a Rhodium IEC with heavy gauge pure silver tail that attaches to the board, which alone was a huge improvement


I haven't gone back to my preamp since
