The ES9028 is an improvement over the ES9018?
Yes, it is, and it can be obvious if your other equipments in the chain are up to reveal its strength.

You are wrong. It's a marginal improvement.Yes, it is, and it can be obvious if your other equipments in the chain are up to reveal its strength.
No, this is the same switching supply, nothing better.Like something like this possibly?

Is there any other power supply for this that is better than stock but not $140 (p1)?
If daring to buy from the EBay, then these seem to be decent:

.
But I do not know how good they are because I do not use any of them. I built the power supplies for my M8 and M8A myself.
Wish I knew how to build one I bought a speaker amp from Breeze Audio before it was not bad. That one seems to be wrong voltage for M8 though.
They do not specify what regulator they are using, or show any pictures on what's inside. That could give some hint on the quality.

Can you show schematics and pictures of your supply?
I owned a breeze audio tpa3116 speaker amp just basic stereo amp. But sounded good and still works.I did not understand. What speaker amp is that and what supply you are referring to?
Building a power supply, as long as you use "normal" size parts, is rather easy and a good place to start.
Building your own will guarantee the quality of the parts and help you buy better stuff.
Do Linear Power supplies help with ground loop? When I use my JBL Monitors I get buzzing with M8 (USB from computer source). If I use optical with M8 I don't get ground loop issues only USB. I don't get buzzing with headphones and m8 with USB source, only the monitors.
