Equitech with digital only?

Axle, the Alpha Reference notes further improved isolation.

Knghifi. Did you ever use it just for your digital?
Do you any other conditioner?

Knghifi, thanks for info. What did you replace your Equitech with?

Thanks all. Axle why would it apply more to analog than digital?

Hi Knight. Why do you call it active? What was the main benefit when you plugged your dac into the digital outlet?

Axel. I appreciate what you say but Equitech 2Q yields improved sound. Any ideas why?

Hi Axle. Just reading about the Berkely Alpha Dac 2. They mentioned they improved isolation technologies, among other things; and Robert Harley found it significantly better than the first version. If the bits are always perfect why so much concentration on electrical isolation amongst top notch DAC's?

Thanks Axle. Got it. I feel that is why my system indicates that with adaquate funds, separate isolation transformes for alalog and digital units would be ideal.

Axle I better appreciate your comment re digital as I'm investigating "ripping CD's" to my laptop. Among other articles I came across a blog on the "Design w Sound" website by Kent Poon. His 'proofs' of digital recording accuracy helped gratify my 'obsessiveness' re proper duplication. Supported by other sites as well.

Coli. Nice to hear your comments as they echo my own.

Yes. The weight of the 2Q transformer is over 70 pounds. Significant for sure. The Sound Application stuff is nearly weightless. Fascinating technologies. I'd like to try a Hydra.
