Since you are using digital out, there are a few things you can try out before building a linear PSU. 1. Get a power line filter / isolation transformer. These are plug-in - no soldering. It will be useful even if you are going for a linear PSU at a later stage. 2. Try an optical cable (if you have one laying around). Finally, if you still want to get a linear PSU, consider a pre-built one. Or maybe you know someone who can help you?
