Digital sources best with Hydra 8's analog outlets


Do Shunyata Hydra 8 users use the digital or analog outlets on the Hydra for transports and DACs? I found the
analog ones work better on both (less grain).

You stated: "Since you also state that the max continuous current is 20 amps on your website, this device is current limiting and not by what the AC circuit feeding it is capable of."

I may have misunderstood you here...so if I did I apologize. Anyway, most duplex outlets (in most houses anyway) are rated up to 15 amperes. Moreover, most houses have 15-20 amp breakers before the outlets at the main panel which are shared by however many outlets and switches(for lighting and the like) are on that particular circuit. Which means at any given time, (AT BEST) the most current you'd have a available at a single outlet would be 15/20 amperes. So, on that sense, the Hydra is not current limiting...only because its current limit is larger than anything that should be available at the wall plug...I suppose is "non-current limiting for all practical/common purpose".
