Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2

Would love to know how the Sigma S12 compares in performance to the Denali/s v2.
Would one miss much if acquiring an S12 for a 2-ch system, vs Denali 6000sv2?
(I know...it's subjective!). :S

They're quite comparable; they both have the same noise suppression specification of 50dB (which is a lot; my original Triton V1 had something like 24dB).
The QR/BB device in the Denali will provide somewhat more immediacy and "slam" on dynamic passages or passages that scale from soft to loud.
The Sigma S12 has twice the number of outlets, so there's that.
I think the GP-NR system in them is the same system. Not to be overlooked.

Just got my Denali V2 today in Singapore 
Waiting for Alpha XC power cord for the wall. As of now using Delta V2 XC.
So far good.
Connected to Lumin T2 using Delta V2 NR and Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated Amp using Siltech 680P Power cord.

They don’t have it in display at the store. But they can order the Everest if I want it.
I was looking for the best power conditioner which can fit inside the shelf/rack
Do they have coppercon wall outlet in Singapore ? I try to order in Jakarta , but no availability.

Yes, I got the US coppercon outlets in Singapore

Sorry, I thought you were asking me about the outlets of the denali.
I am using standard wall outlet (UK) for powering the denali.
It’s Ok .thanks for replying.

Late to the party but can anyone comment on SQ differences between Denali V1 and V2?
I know about the 6 zone isolation but wondered what the sound difference is.

There is no definitive answer to your question. I have Denali V1. Sounds no different plugged into the Denali or plugged directly to the wall. Yet other owners, with different equipment, find totally the opposite. I don't have Denali V2 to compare against Denali V1, but if I did the benefit in my home is no measure of how it might perform in your home. Or anybody else's. If you can afford a new Denali buy a V2. If you can't, buy a V1, if you can find one. There aren't many out there on the used market.

A key difference is QR/BB. On Denali v1, only one duplex gets this. On Denali v2, each duplex gets this. QR/BB is the real deal and it can increase perceived dynamics. I would think that we’d want to have any component with an analog stage on an outlet with QR/BB. That’s not as easily accomplished with Denali v1. My DAC (which also serves as my preamp) gets my Denali v1’s QR/BB outlet. That outlet was freed up as my amp sounds a little better when plugged directly into a second dedicated circuit. The rest of my Dv1’s outlets are powering digital-only components so this works out pretty well in my case. Less so back when I still had an analog preamp and phono stage.
QR/BB may benefit digital-only components too, but I just don’t know that to be the case.
Oh and one more difference between Dv1 and Dv2. The Dv1 had only three isolated zones. Components sharing the same duplex weren’t isolated from each other. I believe that with the Dv2 there is even isolation between outlets on a duplex. With the Dv1, one has to be careful to not have an analog component share a duplex with a digital component. With only 3 duplexes that’s harder to do.

It’s the HC Zone for high current.
