Power Supply Upgrade for Bluesound Nano

Why? Are you saying Bluesound engineers don't know how to do the circuitry of their devices correctly?

It's an unnecessary thing to do unless you're having issues

 Let’s void the warranty. Save yourself from mediocrity and take that money and save it towards an InnuoOS product. 

I use the PD Creative board and an iFi power supply. Just using mine as a streamer and it is a nice upgrade. All of this of course lets you use a much lower noise power supply than the unit’s original one. 
And I still use the Bluesound as there is a streaming service that I like that is not incorporated into most other streamers. 

Lhy 15VA LPS 5V.  I own one and I could hear sonic improvement over ifi ipower 2 (for Schiit Dac).

I added a Sbooster to my "Tuba" Headphone Amp from Hagerman Audio Labs.

I thought it sounded incredible and when I spoke with the designer Jim Hagerman about any additional tweaks, he recommended the Sbooster power supply.

It was a definite enhancement, with more punch over the included wall wart.

I wouldn't replace the Bluesound Nano supply.  If you want to improve your power supply, you should use a PSaudio power supply for your whole system.  It will provide clean power to everything, which will dramatically improve your sound. 

I installed a IFI power supply on my Roku and it made the picture much cleaner, less noise, colors looked brighter and more vivid...

A worthwhile $80 I think it was, I already have the whole system plugged into a Equitech Son of Q balanced power conditioner, but the cheap stock power supply was noisy 

I’m not an electrical engineer so I’m not an expert.  Talking with people who are though I have learned that your focus should be on the power supply in your home.  If that is stable and the outlet(s) you are using are supplying the power needed to properly power your equipment you should be set.  Power supplies are one of the controversial issues in hi-fi.  Some people swear by upgrades and others call it snake oil.  Unless the manufacturer offers upgrades or tells you it’s okay I would not mess with it.

Everything is built to a price point   Power supplies are one of the most expensive component in an audio product.  Upgrading an inexpensive power supply often results in improved performance.

^^^^ this.

Upgrading from a cheap wall wart is a no brainer on an evolved system. How much of a difference you'll notice is a variable, but it should be a step in the right direction.  

I don't have a specific recommendation on a brand, but have replaced the wall warts on my phono stage and DAC with DIY regulated linear power supplies, and offered lower noise floor and more refined overall performance in both cases.  

yikes...run my BS though dacs...sound great....

In my best Captain Renault voice I am shocked SHOCKED that people on this forum don’t know the power supply of the Nano is an external USB-C 5v2A rather than an internal one and would gatekeep the hobby in saying unless you can drop your monthly income for a power supply or a source component than don’t bother rather than actually helping the person with the original question seeking knowledge.

I went with the iFi Power X. I can't say how much it helped over the stock wall wart because I never used it. That said the Nano with it's built in DAC on it's own is fine, I'm just waiting for my new DAC to ship.

Thanks for all the input. As always the law of diminishing returns apply.  The supplied wall wart is basic at best. 

Upgraded my Bluesound with PD Creative out of Poland. Nice guy there was taking in refugee families from Ukraine at the time but still answered my questions and shipped promptly. I like the results, too.

How much did it cost delivered?

@kofibaffour  I can tell you my bluesound node 2 has a very bad layout in the power supply, it has two capacitors in the middle of two regulator heat sinks and a transformer on the other side. These two capacitors get hot and prematurely fail, but on the bluesound forum they tell you it's a firmware update that went south. I had to look on a few different forums to actually find out what was really happening, it was the two capacitors, I put two new capacitors in and the red light of death was gone and the node 2 was working again.
