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.

It is hard to say what the audible difference is with my fabulous power supplies, but because they're simply so large and cool (compared to the wall warts anyway) I've decided they're better anyway...and a part of my humless system.
I have some great yet currently extinct power supplies for my Cambridge DAC and phono preamp..."Pangea P100s" supposedly designed by a smart person, and they are MUCH better than the wall warts they replaced...noise filtering, stable transformer based little gems.
