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.

Either the new Plixir BDC v2 with Statement DC Cable or the Statement DC power supply. These will be the top Linear power supplies on the market.

I have the Modwright. Big improvement plus it's footprint matches the Weiss.

System aesthetics matter, at least to me. (and to swmbo)

How do you like the LHY LPS for the Lumin U2 Mini? The internal kit looks like it may be the best option on the market. However, I don’t know if the DC power cable is of high quality like the Teddy or Statement cable. We have a distributor that is only a few miles away from me but he doesn’t have any units. I was hoping they drop shipped all the US orders. Are you pleased with the overall quality, including sound? On an improved percentile scale, did the LHY improve the overall performance by more than 40 percent or were there only minimal improvements in sound quality 10-20 percent?
