Maybe you missed the part in the post where turning off the WiFi might negate needing another power conditioner.
Well, doesn't THAT sound super convenient??
Try this.
My home computer is in a different room and on a different circuit than my audio system. When I turn off the computer, the audio system sounds better. And my system is already tweaked out with good cabling and power conditioners. Even the LPS for my modem/router has a power conditioner on it.
The next experiment was to keep the computer on - but, temporarily disconnect the WiFi connection - via the control app. The results were almost as good as turning off the computer. I primarily stream Tidal. Since I rarely use the CD transport, I powered it down also. Again, another improvement.
It appears that digitius is quite proficient at polluting any & all circuits. If somebody else at home is watching Netflix or playing an online video game, it could be affecting the audio rig. YMMV

Yep. The best, least expensive power conditioner I know which can clean that up is this Furman strip with LiFT and SMP. https://amzn.to/2UaIJZj SMP is the only tech I know of that is effective down to audible ranges. The tech, but not the badge, is shared by other makers like PS Audio. If you go up the Furman range, check for those two features (LiFT, SMP). They make a ton of stuff, and not all have it. The price is so low it is worth using as a secondary strip for wall warts as well, using a higher end unit for audio gear. Best, E |
