@David A - the last time I tested a power conditioner other than the PI Audio UberBUSS was before I had the Devialet. Interestingly, I believed I tried them on a NAD M2. All the ones I tried created a more relaxed, musical experience. But what I found is that the transient response was diminished.... the snap of a rim shot, slam of a heavily plucked bass... things that required instantaneous need for power. I will totally admit that was back nearly 10 years ago and I have no doubt that much of today's power conditioners have improved. But if you're fortunate enough to try before you buy, take a good listen to highly dynamic music.
Interestingly, I found similar effect when turning Devialet's DPM setting on. The music sounded great, but it seemed to be missing the slam of instantaneious response. My DPM setting remains off.
