I've used a DC-DC converter based on a LM2596 I got from an auction site (I can't recall which). It cost a couple of pounds and seemed fine for powering the little Bluetooth module I was using. I didn't measure for noise but it was "good enough".

I suspect for HiFi, some filtering and a metal enclosure might be in order...
