"But to imply that you spend $4000 on an isolators and then have to spend over $1000 on a cable to 'improve' things is off putting."
Why should it put you off? If don't want to spend that kind of money, you don't have to. I just reviewed a product. Nothing more. I didn't say that readers have to own one of these things to have a good system.
And remember this, the writer of the technical description had no input as to how the article was laid out or written. I was just looking for a scientific explanation of digital noise.
I have reviewed a number of very expensive DACs. I don't feel my life is worthless unless I own one of these things.

It means that the $4000 isolator isn't doing the job of isolating!
I don't follow what you are saying. The $4000 isolator does its job, but is focused on digital noise. Unless you are using a power re-generator, most power conditioners won't deal with this high frequency noise.
So, what is the cable doing?
The isolator needs pre filtering of the mains to work?
What are the isolator outputs with and without the cable?
The isolator doesn't need prefiltering. They were showing that some of their cables also filter to a limited extent. The AC cables are a separate discussion.
The way it is put, who knows what is necessary? If the cable is a separate issue, this should have been made clear.
The DPC-6 doesn't come with an AC cord. What I did Fred was to describe what Shunyata had sent me for the review. It was a mid priced cable in their line, but seemed to be more than adequate for the job.
In retrospect, perhaps I should have made this business with the AC cord more clear.
Wow! I just checked out the comments sections..Fred/Fmak really got into it with Caelin Gabriel of Shunyata...busting out the popcorn.
He does it in another rather dead forum; I don't generally respond.
ST, that was not Caelin Gabriel. CG is a regular poster at AudioStream.
I find that hard to believe "CG"...a Shunyata review...but I will take your word for it.
SMH
I googled SMH and got
Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF!
No idea what it says.
Sorry,
Shaking my head...
He's a friend of mine.
Another thing I forgot to mention Fred. The writer wished to remain anonymous and not get involved with audiophile forums.
The man is a Geenieus!
Actually, he is well respected in his field. That's why I asked for his help.
I was not being sarcastic. He is known in his field, and even more brilliant for avoiding audiophile forums.
Like I've said before ST, we are real ball breakers in this forum :)
"Like I've said before ST, we are real ball breakers in this forum :)"
Not all...
I really think it is worth reading. I think it is crazy to think just because one reads the article they will immediately drop 4 grand. It is totally silly to think everyone here is sheep. There is advertizing every where we go. Do we really need sound check to do this every time. This is not 1940...How about every time he posts we post MORON ALERT!!! If there really was an issue (and there is not)the mod would say something. This is why allot of people will not post here.
Thanks for the article Steve.
