I just got one of these last night on Darko's recommendation. My 120 had been connected directly to a dedicated line.
Last weekend, I tried connecting the 120 to a PS Audio Powerplant 300. It was a fuzzy, disorganized mess. I was back direct to the wall in 15 minutes.
Last night, I plugged the 120 into the Niagara 1000 and things changed for the better. I didn't hear the jump in dynamics Darko did (not yet anyway), but I did hear a much more layered, deep, and clear soundstage. Voices took on a bit more "there" in the room.
This was a nice step up. Not as big as going Roon into Ethernet into the 120 (which crushes a Micro Rendu), but a very worthwhile update. Will report back after more listening this weekend.
