Linear Power Supply

I have a Sonore Optical Rendu with the base SGC power supply. I’m considering upgrading to the Sonore power supply, but I have no experience on how much power supplies make a difference. I have a pretty revealing system and I have definitely heard changes with many small tweaks.

So how much do these power suppliers make, and are there other options I should consider?

Interesting question, I am in the exact same boat (OR de Luxe with SGC power supply and I'm looking to upgrade the PS). 

1) The CIAudio IS available via Sonore at $395

2) Is it worthwhile to spend twice the money for the Sonore PS? Anybody did hear / compare both?

Definitely interested if others have opinions of the impact of LPS on SW

LHY makes some nice LPS also.

An update is that I am trying out the Sonore power supply and my first impression is that it definitely is an improvement. I can easily A/B the Sonore streamer set-up now (Ultra Rendu, Cardas and Shunyata cables) with a direct standard Ethernet cable to my Weiss built in Roon streamer. A huge difference, with Somore set-up feeling (to use a cliche) like a vail has been lifted off.
