Just to confirm the obvious:
Tried the same experiment with the powered USB hub (pulwtop, minisopuru) And as soon as you pull the power from the USB hub the music shuts down. It is not taking power from the phone , only signal.
So, if the power coming from the wall is being filtered well by the powered USB hub and it's being converted down to 5 volts without adding junk noise and power spikes by the powered USB hub then these should be the way to go.
I'm using a USB C to C cable which has an inline supercapacitor (supposedly) which filters signal fluctuations for my peace of mind.

Confirmation bias is a real thing.
Guys, that battery brick and unpowered hub such as the aceele
Cannot possibly be doing anything. If you don't believe me, try this:
Start listening to a track exactly the way you would... then simply unplug the battery - nothing happens.
All the power AND the signal is coming from the phone as it would if the battery pack is not there.
doesn't matter what order you plug things in or which port you plug it in on the hub. try all the combinations till your heart is content
We just wanted it to be an improvement in sound.
If someone can prove to me that the battery of the phone and the brick are summed together and it gives a larger current swing for those really really hungry dongles that the phone can't supply by itself then I suppose there could be some benefit
