Here is what I do .................

For my Main (Critical) Listening System, I use a Linear Power Supply. I got mine from Swagman Labs.
http://www.swagmanlab.com/Product_PSU?product_id=631 -- I have a couple of these. The Base Model costs around $160 -- The 'Signature' Model is around $300....

I assume you are using the USB output into a DAC? -- If so, I would not worry about 'Cleaning Anything Up'... I would however advise against powering a USB Drive from the Rpi (For Critical and your Main Listening System). I Would get a NAS for this purpose.

If you want to use a Coax Output from your RPi, I would look at the Allo Digione 'Hat'

I use both the USB Output and the Digione Coax Output into my DAC. In fact I have both hooked to my Same DAC on my main system, so it is easy to switch back and forth. The USB output can play DSD, while the Digione Coax output cannot.
