where to plug in the dac and transport

I use the emmlabs dcc2 preamp/dac and emmlabs cdsd transport. Currently, I am plugging them into their own 2 socket outlet but its not dedicated. I have a dedicated 20 amp four socket outlet for my two mono amps.

Is there a consensus that its better not to have the preamp/dac and cd transport on the same dedicated line as the amp? Or is it better to get the preamp and transport away from a non-dedicated line.

Is there another way like having the preamp/dac on the dedicated amp line and not the transport or vice versa

I don't think my townhouse has enough lines for me to put a dedicated line for the preamp and transport.

I agree with Nsgarch that a good AC power regenerator is a good way to go. Here is a link to another company that makes some very intriguing units: http://www.audiophileaps.com/

Right now, I have my DAC and transport plugged into Monarchy Audio's AC Regenerator and the results are impressive. But the Monarchy Audio unit outputs only 100 watts. It's price is $750 and it is very effective at supplying pure power for low-power source components.
