On the cheaper side i'd like to recommend Topping HS02 for galvanic isolation of the USB connection streamer to DAC: https://www.tpdz.net/productinfo/953487.html
To me an immediately audible improvement in sound. And i'm not hunting for finest details. I really didn't expect such an obvious change (improvement).
Maybe less obvious to not audible if you have a really well designed high quality/end streamer.
So, worth a trial in my ears.
In contrast, Ifi iPurifier 3 was a total disappointment: https://ifi-audio.com/products/ipurifier3/
Immediately found there was a significant decrease in sound quality.
