Thanks F1! Coincidentally my previous 2 DAC, Pre & amp combos have been equally quiet and probably didn't 'require' special noise abatement but old-time hifi guy that I am, I tend to use high-end outlets, plugs, IEC's, cables and terminations for two totally different but distinct reasons for every piece of equipment plugged into the wall... pro-actively for enhanced SQ via cable signal transmission integrity and prophylactically, as "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" solution to quell any potential electrical grid-grunge. Additionally I use it 1; cuz its there, built and paid for years ago and 2; because I need more than a single dual-gang outlet in that location. Of course knowing its efficacy doesn't kill me either ;-)
