Two comments.
In general, I find digital source components very sensitive to power delivery. By all means try different shielded power cords which you happened to have at your (or your friends'...) disposal and look for a quality power line filter with a magnetic core. A good rule of thumb is to judge these by weight... :-)
Second comment is specific to the Zhaolu. There is a published mod for bypassing the DC blocking caps in the D2.0 and D2.5 DACs. In their stock form, these units are below average and frankly quite boring!
In 30 minutes to an hour you will have the biggest smile you had from any recent audio upgrade or purchase... It's especially easy to do for the D2.5!!! Look at the link for details of this mod.
