Reasonably-Priced Linear Power Supply for WIMM Pro Plus Streamer

I just received my WIIM Pro Plus streamer for my second system, which is most often played at a low or moderate volume level..  Set up was prompt and simple, using my iPad zero for set-up and operation.  It feeds music to my Rega Brio integrated amplifier and Paradigm Premiere 200b bookshelf speakers.  The sound is excellent,  it I wonder if going from ehat appears to be a phone charger wall wart (USB-C) to a linear power supply would make an improvement in the sound quality and what options there might be, not to exceed the roughly $200 price of the Pro Plus.  BTW, although both the Pro Plus and  the Brio have internal DACs, I am using a Schiit Modi 3+ DAC in the system.  I will do a comparison of the three DACs to see if there is a significant difference in sound quality.  If not, I can simplify things by using one of the internal DACs.

Hi 😀. I was sceptic when read about this issue

So I tried first with a cheap no name power bank with my WiiM Pro. Huge improvement! Then I took the plunge and bought (at Amazon.de bcs they have return possibility) and ordered a Allo Shanti LPSU, WOW!

As I go out digital coax I was not up to this big improvement 

Small details are now clearly audible (like ie backing vocals, small drum brushes, reverb decay etc) and enjoyable. 

You can try with a power bank and see (hear) if that makes an audible difference.
