Is this their new top of line power cable?

Yes. These are the new "V2" generation of the Sigma NR, Alpha NR, Delta NR power cables. They feature new NR filters and the new VTX-Ag conductors.

The very top of the line is the Omega which has already been released.

Two questions. I couldn’t find the answers on Shunyata’s web site.

What is the difference between the XC and NR model in each version?

Edit. Found answer in another thread.

The XC series was designed to provide maximal current as instantaneously as possible (DTCD) for power distributors. DTCD is the no. 1 requirement for power cords powering power distributors. It does not have noise reducion.

The purpose of the NR series of power cords is to power components, and to prevent noise from inside the power supplies of the amplification or source components, from coming back out, only to be re-distributed within the power conditioner to other componentry. This is why the NR filter is at the component end of the power cord; to reduce the noise at its source. This provides another level of component-to-component noise isolation.

As the power distributor is not an amplification or source component with a power supply, it does not require an NR power cord.

The NR series of power cords were also designed to provide NR for components that may be plugged straight into the wall, e.g. monoblocks, that may be located near speakers, and may not be close enough to connect to a noise reducing power distributor in an audio rack.

What is the difference between the Sigma version at $3500 to the Omega QR at $9000?

Thanks.

The Omega QR has an in-line QR/BB device; the Sigma NR V2 does not. I don't know what other differences there may be between the two cables, e.g. AWG, construction, or materials technology, etc.

I do know that the construction of the Omega QR is very complex and sophisticated and takes the manufacturing operator a full week to construct by hand. This is one of the reasons it costs more than the Sigma NR V2.
 
The Alpha V2 NRs (2 of them) and Sigma V2 NR that I've been testing here for the last 1 month+ plus
are a significant leap ahead in all categories of imaging, tonal accuracy, pacing, soundstage in all 3 dimensions and good old-fashioned
musical enjoyment. Let's just say they are extremely good and worth trying.

If memory serves,the "XC" is also meant to be used if you want an umbilical between Typhon (QR and prior) and Triton (V3 and prior) from what Caelin told me.
