@tomic601 I did that swap and and my system sounds more clear with the analog going into the hydra. A few years ago, different equipment and different room, the best I obtained was when the preamp was plugged into the iso tranny by itself with the digital feeding the hydra so totally opposite to how I have it set up now. You would think having an isolation transformer at the front of everything would be ideal. Once I have a dedicated line installed with outlets closer to my equipment I will be more judicious about using anything other than the cords themselves initially, then systematically try the conditioner and iso tranny.
@williewonka I would think that your power cords are making more of a difference than avoiding the daisy chain since they are all tied together at the wall but I'm not an EE.
