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.

The immediately apparent difference between linear and switching power supplies is the absence of background noise. Any of the aforementioned Aliexpress units that cost roughly $50 delivered will do that.

Tales of power supply-related sonic improvements above and beyond noise suppression are... another matter, let's say. In any event, it should be obvious to everyone that spending $500 on a teddy prado or sbooster supply for a $200 wiim makes no sense. But spending $50 does, and will result in a noticeable improvement.

i can attest to that...

Linear tube Audio without a 2nd thought  build quality

And sonics best under $1200 $750!a bargain

I tried one linear power supply from Linear  tube audio...

Nothing cheap could compare... Dead silent noise floor level i even remember it after 2 years now...

My system value being 1000 bucks it made no sense to buy one though...

i have tried one with their microzotl tube amplifier  which could not beat my Sansui alpha for a very demanding headphone on many front (  K340)... Then i returned it...

It is the best linear power supply i ever tried, linear Tube audio service is flawless ... I am no expert in power supply  for sure ...  But a noise floor level  almost zero noise you dont forget it...You hear it...

Can someone post a link to recommended LPS’s? I own a WiiM Pro+ myself.  TIA.
