MIT Z Center vs PS Audio Ultimate Outlet?

I currently have an MIT Z Center which I have my preamp and DAC, and plugged into. Would like to know if anyone has done a comparison of performance with the PS Audio Ultimate outlet and the MIT. The MIT takes a component shelf and it would be nice to improve sound and eliminate a shelf on the component rack. Would there be problems using a digital component and preamp using the same PS audio outlet? I currently have an isolated outlet on the MIT for digital components. Comments would be appreciated.

I've had both. The Z center has the ability to isolate your preamp, DAC, and CD player. Can only handle medium size amps. A great product. The ultimate outlet cannot isolate your components. It is recommended to have one for preamp, one for digital, and one for amps. It will handle any size amps though. Can be expensive. If done right though, it is simply amazing and in my opinion, outperforms all power conditioners since there is no restricting of the power or sound. Much more open sound.

I have a Z-center and like it a lot. However after adding six dedicated circuits to my gear, I can no longer here the sonic benefits when A/B comparing. It is currently being offered at auction.
