Linear power supply for streamer?

[bxl]

Hello everybody, first post here. First of all thank you for the amazing base of knowledge you've all put together here.

Just a quick question: Do linear power supplies make a difference IN SOUND on streamers?
I am using a DigiOne Signature hooked to my Denafrips Ares II. The DigiOne is powered with two PSU, an ifi iPower for the clean side and the psu that came with the Pi for the dirty side.
I have been told that something like the Allo Shanti would be an improvement soundwise but I prefer to run it by you guys before anything.
The cool thing about the Shanti is that I can power both sides with just one PSU.
But... I'm only interested in sound.

For the record, I don't believe power cables, speaker cables, USB cables, Ethernet cables possess sound qualities
I guess I wouldn't be here otherwise.

Please be kind is my first post here.

Cheers!

If the component is really, really poorly designed then it could conceivably benefit from a ‘better’ PSU, but that then begs the question why would anyone purchase such a poor design in the first instance.

I guess that settles it then!

Thank you!

Indeed.
Thank you!

I am here because I searched for this question. I recently bought a Topping E50 DAC. Many reviewers like this unit but also suggest paying another $50 to $150 for a high quality "wall wart" that outputs clean power to the USB cable. Others suggest using a battery power brick to power the Topping DAC>

I am hesitant and it seems the consensus here is that this is wasted money. Thanks in advance.

A friend has the digione signature and shanti packed away in a box. A simple windows nuc did everything he wanted with less fuss and a bay for an ssd.
