Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2

Ahh - thanks for clarifying. Makes more sense now. Will look further into Denali the weekend.

Denali also has CopperCONN conectors that are not present on Alpha, and each outlet has CCI (component to component interference) protection rather than the pairs of outlets (duplexes) having CCI.

Guys - forgive my lack of education in this area, but can someone advise on what the difference is between Denali 6000 v2 VS. Hydra Sigma S12?

I ask because they are similarly priced and aside from difference in Outlet#'s, I can't tell which one is more advanced in terms of sonics.

I plug my stuff straight into the wall and am beginning to wonder if a Shunyata Conditioner + Pwr Cables might lower the noise and create a more smooth listening experience.....I guess I don't know what I don't know haha

I have not heard the Sigma S12, but assuming (and I mean assuming) that with its filters for pairs of outputs like Denali V1, it was as good as Denali V1, so ......... do not hesitate, buy Denali V2 , it is a very big step with respect to V1

Again, this is why I don't understand why NR power cords and not XC are recommended to power components connected to Denali V2.
 
I'll try. Noise from the wall to the distributor has two places to be removed - the distributor and the distributor to component NR PC. [Noise emanating from a component to another component (attached to the same distributor) has three places to be removed: the NR PC that drives the component, the distributor, and NR PCs from the distributor to other attached components.] Having a PC from the wall to the distributor with NR capability would, in Shunyata's opinion, be overkill/overly redundant noise filtration and cost more than necessary.

Quote: "Again, this is why I don't understand why NR power cords and not XC are recommended to power components connected to Denali V2."

I think because there is likely other noise present in the room that may penetrate to PC (between the distributor and the component) before it reaches the component.... that needs to be removed by the NR filter at the component end.

So inter-component noise rejection via the CCI in Denali V2 of itself can be improved further by using NR PC, but using NR PC from the wall to the Denali V2 doesn't (in a worthwhile sense) because the NR feature within Denali V2 is sufficient (meaning CCI within Denali V2 is not).
 
So I'm considering getting a Denali v2 for my system but I'm wondering if the QR/BB tech will make a difference considering my system is a DNA Stratus(pure class A tube headphone amp) and a Bryston bcd-1 CD player(will be upgrading CD player soon). I know it may sound like overkill to some but I spend a lot of time with this system and want the best(currently using a Hydra V-ray v2). So what do you think Denali v2 or should I just go with a Delta D6?

What do you do when you’re locked inside? Have a shootout of course...

The Denali 6000 S/v2 removes that last bit of glare from digital. It’s really freaking good.

How much better can the 8000 be?
 
Hm, let me drop a hint: The patented QR/BB in the Everest is 3 times the size of that in the Denali series.
 
Welcome

The QR/BB technology is, IMHO, a breakthrough at a fundamental level, and it is one of the key functionalities that sets Denali apart from competitive products. It creates an enveloping, almost 3D-holographic soundstage, image and presentation that becomes....immersive.

In conclusion, with all the discussion of "engineering considerations", audiophile-speak, and high-end geekery aside, Denali creates beguiling and engaging musical experiences. When I listen to it with high-quality recordings, I'm not thinking about cables, QR/BB modules, or "gear" at all because...I find myself lost in the music.

Mike,
Have you had a chance to try the Shunyata Denali 6000S/V2 with Audioquest storm series power cords? If yes, is the performance still very good?
Thanks,
Anshul
