Any experience using a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet

I just purchased a used PS Audio Ultimate Outlet, the 20amp version with IEC outlet. I plan on using it for support of equipment other than my Amplifier. I have read the Stereophile review by Robert Deutsch.

I have 3 dedicated lines running to my system. One for my amp (class AB) which is pluged directly to wall outlet, one for my preamp (all tube), and one for digital equipment which includes DAC, CD transport, DVD SACD player and TV. May 1st try using it for the digital equipment, plugging DAC into one outlet, and other digital items into the other with use of a quality power strip.

Just looking for thoughts from others that have tried this unit.

Having used the UO over the years in several systems since it was introduced, I can say that it's best implemented in front of any digital component as the Balun will mitigate digital noise from being dumped back on the AC line.

Also, while the stock Power Port outlet in the UO is very good, it is bright and forward sounding and the UO is much improved with replacing the PP with an Oyaide or Furutech outlet. It is also beneficial to use a quality power cord feeding the UO.
