@john_g What do their power cords look like at the moment?
e.g. like the PC’s that are supplied with computers (i.e. skinny) or something more heavy duty?
What are the linear supplies like - good quality or el-cheapo?
Do you want Store bought or DIY?
Is the DC power cord from the supply of good quality or cheep and nasty?
Can you replace the power cord on the DC side of the power supply, or is it connected inside the case?
The drawback with units like this is that
1. unless you are a competent DIYer - it gets expensive real quick
2. they may not be worth the expense
Finally - How crazy do you want to get?
Generally - upgrading the PC’s on the small power supplies can provide better sound quality, but the cables you can purchase tend to be too large/expensive to make it a viable proposition.
DIY is more affordable
The power supply for your Ares looks as though it might benefit from an upgraded PC.
There are several good PC’s out there - Signal Cable Silver Resolution springs to mind, good but affordable.
I would recommend looking at the IC’s between the components and speaker cables
I highly recommend KLE Innovations product mainly because they work extremely well and compared to the competition they start off more reasonably priced
