Which components to isolate

Need help deciding which components are best isolated. I have three dedicated duplexes and want to minimize distortions put back into the system. I have a Running Springs Dmitri plugged into one outlet leaving two unused. I have a very good dac, pre, amp and transport. Also have a digital "room perfect" component.I can only isolate two units unless I double up on the duplexes.What would be a best guess as to how to plug it all in. My rack situation makes it hard to simply unplug and listen. I am going to try dac to one outlet and digital eq into the other outlet.Anyone with experience on this?

I've found that isolating the cd player or anything didgital on a separate line always made for better, more relaxed sound.

I run four dedicated lines-one for the cd player,-one each for the power amps and a fourth line fot the phono stage, turntable, pre.

I tried the cd player into a Hydra 8 on a dedicated line with the rest of the front end gear, but prefer now to isolate it completely.

I once had a friend whose cd player distorted the picture of a tv used elsewhere in home only when he was playing his cds.
