Best means of isolating digital equipment i.e. DACs, CD transports, wall warts etc.


Is it better to route these digital noise polluters through a conditioner, isolation transformer or both in series?  Is a "digital" power cord sufficient by itself or could it be used with any of the above without negative side effects?  There are a lot of anecdotal observations in many old threads.  Can anyone help clarify based on what they have found?  I'm getting ready to add a dedicated circuit for my audio system and will be reconfiguring power cable connections.

Could someone tell Miller that Wall-Warts have not been "a small transformer, diodes and cap", with rare exception for quite some time. Most are switch mode supplies not due to the requirement of universal operation and cost.
I am trying to use language that he will understand, using his particular vernacular, except i tend to be more targeted where he just insults everyone :-)
