No wonder it sounds poor.... Your using the cheap "junk"!!!
Also the input to the power supply has to be addressed also. I would
recommend these:

Hopefully they will have designed a heavy duty 220 Volt model for when
the Elecraft linear becomes
available.

Certainly even with the K2 and any other receiver it is easy to find some
pretty lousy signals. More so during contests. However, to suggest that
the K3 is sooooo good that others sound routinely bad is heading towards
the "golden eared" audiophile nonsense. Nope, it's not the receiver, it's
the 169 strand single crystal oxygen free copper unidirectional leads to
your external computer speakers.
Now, where did I put that $500 solid silver power lead with the "special
edition" gold APP's on. That's just got to improve the TX IMD surely?
The reported A/B with the R2C and an unbiased(?) XYL seemed to suggest
otherwise.
Apologies.
More seriously, I've been fiddling with the bandwidth, Lo and Hi cut and
audio settings on my K3 and achieved a compromise I like. It has
nevertheless made me ponder the whole concept of AD/DA converting a low
level signal in a noise background. All AD/DA conversion results in some
level of quantisation distortion which might be more noticeable in this
circumstance which is routinely encountered in DXing.
