Question About Linear Power Supplies and Streamers

I’m looking for opinions regarding potential benefits of adding a linear power supply to my server/streamer. If I’m only using the digital output from the streamer, would I realize any benefits from adding the LPS?  My streaming setup is router to Innuos Zenmini Mk II connected by ethernet, with Ayre QB9 DSD dac connected by USB to the streamer which is in turn connected to my integrated amp through the dac’s balanced outputs.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Pretty affordable, conveniently small and replaced my big Astron in my DAC and the wall wart for my streamer. 

To me, the issue is often not just the noise they reduce, and the current they provide, but whether or not they put noise back into the AC line.
