Once Kinki is able to fill all the back and pre-orders and Alvin has them back in stock to sell it will be interesting to see what the actual "landed" price in the US really is.  Don't expect it to be near the prices listed on the website. The iFi Powerstation is also another effective and reasonably priced unit.

Thanks for that. I have had good performance for very reasonable prices from iFi and the Powerstation is only $749

I watched 2 reviews on this product Huff and IIWI,they both made opposite claims Huff claims not made for amps amd IIWI says you can use on amps. No real need for it as I use the Puritan Labs.

Sometimes it works and is necessary, other times not so much, and still other times it can suck the dynamics out of your system. If you don;t need it or don;t hear a difference then consider yourself lucky.

We use one or two UberBUSSes at every audio show with superb results.

In my main rig at home, I use an UberBUSS and a DigiBUSS with similar fantastic results! On my second system, I employ on UberBUSS for my amplifier power supplies and for my "old school" SACD player & BP DAC...

What's fantastic with the UberBUSS, is that it does NOT limit current, which in-turn does not limit DYNAMICS!

Great product, Dave!

Cheers,
Pete

Proper noise reduction via the UberBUSS, the iFi LAN iSilencer and iPurifier and recently an ultra low noise lps from China for the modem and router have made a huge improvement in my system.

Everything except the lps for the modem and router is plugged in an UberBUSS fed by Pete's Digital American II power cord. I have an outlet or two still open on the UberBUSS, but am a little concerned about "polluting" it with additional noise. It would also take a bit of rearranging to plug that dual output lps into the UberBUSS. Occasionally, I see one of Dave's devices available on the used market. Is the DigiBUSS a better unit for devices like a modem and router?

I designed the Digi as a personal solution to all of the SMPS we had for "devices".  It is basically a "brick wall" filter and does use inductors.  They are nanocrystalline devices made by 1 company in the world.  The inductor rating is 25A @ 250VAC with an incredibly low DCR.

Where is the listing?  I can tell you more about it due to the fact I made a lot of custom versions.

I should have been more clear. Nothing for sale right now per HiFi Shark. I was just wondering, if I found a Digi, if it would be a better option to plug in my new low noise lps into the Digi rather than the Uber that you made me. Am trying to squeeze max performance out of my current system....and it sounds really m really nice already 😊
