I have owned the Niagara 1000 for several years. My audio dealer recommended I try it given the many power spikes and very brief outages in our area. I took it home to try and and bought it because it made almost as much of an improvement to sound quality as when I added my Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. The sound was “cleaner” - less background noise and more precise. It is important to connect your amp or receiver to the high current outlet. Also important to connect your DAC, pre-amp and computer or NAS, as well as your turntable. You need to make an effort to experiment with the order in which devices are connected as there are multiple banks of capacitors which is why AudioQuest recommends separating digital and analog eqipment in different banks. The new 1200, which replaces the 1000, has a second high current outlet which is helpful if you own a powered subwoofer or multiple amps.
AudioQuest Niagara 1000
Hey Audiophobes,
Anybody have any experience with the AudioQuest Niagara 1000
Power LOW-Z POWER/NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM? I have one on loan and I am
testing it out now. Unfortunately, I really can't effectively do an A/B
comparison because all my power outlets and cords and not very accessible.
Would appreciate any experience you all have with this product.
Thanks
