Which components to isolate

Need help deciding which components are best isolated. I have three dedicated duplexes and want to minimize distortions put back into the system. I have a Running Springs Dmitri plugged into one outlet leaving two unused. I have a very good dac, pre, amp and transport. Also have a digital "room perfect" component.I can only isolate two units unless I double up on the duplexes.What would be a best guess as to how to plug it all in. My rack situation makes it hard to simply unplug and listen. I am going to try dac to one outlet and digital eq into the other outlet.Anyone with experience on this?

Interesting. I was thinking along the same lines, but thought the most disturbing components were the digital units, so I'm keeping the DAC on one dedicated circuit and tube pre and tube amp on another dedicated circuit, and the computer an a non-dedicated line. Will try pre and amp on different circuits and DAC with either option and see if I hear differences.

How are others connecting/separating pre, amp, and digital?
