Thanks Todd. Is this small Topaz good enough to use for a DAC and transport?

Beware of transformer noise. I had 2 and 5kVAs and both of them were noisy, at least in a50 Hz area. I had to banish one outside of my listening room.
Try to look for genuine ultra isolation units designed for the purpose. They are not cheap. Best if they give isolation figures over as wide a bandwidth as possible.
Perhaps you should ask ARC first as to why.
I hear a faint "hum" about 2 feet from the unit. That's not as bad as some other line conditioners I use, which can be heard a good 10 feet away. I run two units, one for the CD source on each system.The 1 kVA version should be plenty for a transport and DAC. (This unit should be robust enough for smaller power amplifiers or entire low-power systems.) It's the biggest isolation unit you can run safely off a standard 120V 15A outlet. (Topaz makes larger units, but require industrial mains that can handle more than 20A.)
