Caelin,
I was wondering if you would be so kind as to comment on the following. If I use both a transport and external DAC, but could prioritize only one zitron alpha PC at this point, does it make more sense to put it on the DAC or the transport? Thanks in advance for your time. |

I was just thinking this same thing. My TiVo for instance has the round on one side, square on the other connector. I've always wanted to see if a power cord would make a difference here.

I agree that the intended cable would have further potential with additional connector type options. I have custom Fututech cables feeding from Sony 65" panel & a Foxtel IQHD STB into a Shunyata Hydra Talos & it is a definite improvement!

We have prototype cables that use the small connectors with the Digital filter built in. I am using a prototype on the Mac Mini music server and it is quite an improvement. We will see how the market reacts to the XiTron Alpha Digital cable and then decide if it makes economic sense to produce cables with the computer type connectors.
You can always use an C15 to C5 or C7 adapter in the meantime. cg |

Cailin,
First: does CDP stand for CD player (or an SACD player, etc.)? Do you see this new power cable being used when you don't own a Talos, Triton, etc., or do you see it being using conjunction with a Talos or Triton to further enhance the performance of the devices? Dave |

Digital components operate in the Megahertz and Gigahertz frequency ranges. The digital PC intercepts noise from the power supply of the digital component, preventing it from contaminating the power circuit. Noise and RFI are most effectively reduced when addressed at the source. The cable has a significant performce effect even if you already have a good power conditioner like the Triton. cg
