Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets


Do Shunyata Hydra 8 users use the digital or analog outlets on the Hydra for transports and DACs? I found the
analog ones work better on both (less grain).

You shouldn't be plugging the power amp into it, anyway. It should be on a separate line.

I dunno. It seems to me the Hydra-8 works great. But I don't think any power conditioner works optimally with the amp plugged into the same equipment as the front-end. I wouldn't really blame Hydra for this state of affairs.

Tvad: Now you're relying on spec's, empirical evidence and manufacturer's claims? I would think that Brent's comments as passed onto him by the manufacturer of the product itself would tell you something.

So that everyone else can follow along with what i'm getting at, IF the Hydra truly weren't "current limiting", it wouldn't matter where the amp was plugged in at. That's because there would be an abundance of current and power capacity regardless of the outlet chosen and where it was located within the wiring scheme of the Hydra. Given that this comment came from Brent aka Brainwater, i have no reason to doubt the validity of it. Given the internal wiring scheme of the unit, which i provided a link to for all to see, i can understand why Shunyata would say what Brent claimed they told him.

Other than that, i agree with your comment. If a manufacturer tells you that the unit isn't current limited, it should be able to provide a steady state level of current up to the rating of the circuit breaker and wiring feeding it. Sean
