Making sure you are delivering adequate power (voltage and current both) to the Pi and associated devices is step #1.
As an aside, in a weak moment some years ago, I bought an IFI 5V supply and found the DC>microUSB adapter so problematic that I ended up tossing the supply in a drawer. I thought about cutting off the barrel connectors and soldering the wires directly instead but official Raspberry Pi power supplies have been working very reliably for me so I never bothered. Any noise these supplies hypothetically might be injecting into the audio chain is inaudible to me in my listening environment.
