Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference?

I would buy a Porter Port before I bought Maestro duplex receptacle.

The Maestro starts out as a Cooper BR20 duplex outlet. At Lowe’s, $3.47

OP,

A non breakable nylon duplex plate will work just fine.

Or are you speaking from speculation based upon assumed principles?

That's our Randy!!!

randy-11:  have you actually tried a Maestro outlet in comparison to a Hubbell in order to speak so authoritatively?  Or are you speaking from speculation based upon assumed principles?

Just use any decent $10 to $15 outlet - Hubbell and others make good solid ones.

You want a solid connection (for the amp) - nothing else matters at an AC power outlet

Its not the faceplate, but the Maestro outlet that makes the difference.  Just use a 29c plastic Home Depot faceplate

No.  Don't waste your $$ on snake oil.

If you DO have a problem, address power cables to your DAC first & then an AC power converter (transformer) such as a used Topaz.
