The difference between Digital or Analog on most conditioners usually has nothing to do with amplifyers. Having said that, it’s usually better to plug amps straight into the wall on a different circuit than your power conditioner. That way the amps get all the power they need without taking away from the more sensitive bits like streamers.
Is it analog or is it digital?
Hi Audiogoners,
I am interested in what you think and about your recommendations.
Does the subwoofer amp (Hypex UcD 400-V5) within Zu Definition IV speakers plug into the Analog or Digital outlets on the Shunyata Hydra power conditioner? Right now, they are plugged into the analog ports but I began thinking that this is wrong and that they should be digital. The other device plugged into the Hydra's digital outlets is the digital portion of the DAC power supply. Plugged in the analog side is the analog portion of the DAC power supply, an analog EQ, and phono preamp. It is easy to move the speakers to the digital outlets and I will try that to see if there is an audible difference.
What do you think: are they analog or digital?
Happy Listening,
Jed
