Roon Power Supply


Would someone please recommend a power supply and cables to replace the wall wart that came with my Roon Nucleus.

Sbooster 19 volt linear power supply. Just got one a couple of weeks ago to use with my Roon Nucleus which I use as my network player in my main rig. The power supply is a good sized brick, almost as large as the Nucleus itself. Well made plastic case. Runs pretty cool ... warm to the touch, not hot (I have a Small Green Computer 5 Volt LPS which is smaller, but runs much, much hotter, that I use with Chord Qutest). Sbooster is still breaking in ... but preliminary impressions... richecr sound; dropped the noise floor and makes it feel like it raised the ceiling.
Using it together with Shunyata Venom 3 power cord.   Has gotten lots of positive reviews, including at The Ear, Hifi Pig, and Positive Feedback.
@thinman2 - I currently have my Roon Nucleus connected via Curious USB Cable to a Chord Qutest.  I like this combination very much.  
The system with all its details can be found here:

All that is missing is the Sbooster Power Supply that has only been in the system for two weeks now.  I have been streaming via Tidal since 2014 and via Qobuz since November.  Personally I prefer Qobuz to Tidal.  If you do MQA, Roon will perform the first bit of unfolding, which will get you all the way to 96K; and I'd argue most of the goodness to be had is within that first 96K.  I too, wouldn't get too hung up on MQA.  The vast majority of what is out there streaming-wise is at Redbook quality.
