Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204

Looking to upgrade from Chord Qutest with the Weiss Dac 204.  The Weiss comes with an ac adapter, brick or an external power supply that plugs into the wall. I am seeking to upgrade to a linear power supply. My top two choices are as follows:

  1. S Booster  Linear Power supply (About $450.00).
  2. Modwright Linear Power Supply (About $1000.00

Has anybody heard either of these? Dos the Modwright sound better than the S Booster? I currently have a LHY power supply on my Qutest and a S Booster on my Lumin U2 mini.  Each reduces the noise which in turn improved the sound.

Thank you.

I've had different power supplies for the 204. Really didn't notice a difference. Others will probably disagree. I would say the linear power supply is a necessity, but any of those mentioned would work just fine.

I had the 204 and it is definitely better with the upgraded power supply, I used the S-Booster with mine. Good luck, Merry Christmas…
