Ok. You know more than me then.

You know the transformer equation though.
Bmax = V / (4.44 f N A) …… in Tesla
How relevant is this to a switching mode power supply? And how does physical size translate to efficiency?
BTW: Any formula including "magical numbers" with SI units is questionable.

This is for a mains frequency transformer. I was only suggesting one reason why a 60Hz mains network might be more efficient than a 50Hz one. More efficient in terms of cost at least. The 4.44 isn't really magical just square root of 2 multiplied by Pi. Pi always turns up in these equations

I know nothing and i dont care, my system probably sound better than yours

I agree with your sentiment. Don’t matter what other say as long you’re happy it’s all that counts.I know nothing and i dont care, my system probably sound better than yours
Is the Ultra just plug and play for you with the 8300cdq via usb? I briefly plugged my ultra into mine and it didn't work, so just why back to running it into my topping e70.

I was gifted an audioquest nrg-x2 that I hooked up to my ultra. I can’t hear any difference but it did seem to click into place better resulting in a sturdier connection than the stock power cable had.
What's amp and speakers are you using with the Ultra?
Is this a pre-cursor to the oft-quoted condescending assertion that the rest of their system isn’t revealing enough?

Ignore that, just tried it again out of curiosity and it worked fine. I must have been having brain issues when I first tried
Wait, I need a "coffin" in my power conditioner for it to really work? Maybe it's Vlad Dracula still lying in there? Or at least parts of his left ear?
OTOH, maybe any gold hamster that's been run over will do, as long as it's just potted in Shunyata "Liquid Diamond"®, so it cannot be reverse engineered?
Thanks for that!

Amp is Onkyo A-9110 with RME ADI-2 DAC and Sony SS-CS5 speakers

The major advantage with double insulated power supplies using 2 prong power cords in audio equipment is elimination ground loops.Its a class II device, dont need any ground at AC power inlet.
Functional Ground and Protection Classes in Power Supplies
The IEC has established three protection classes for electronic equipment: class I, class II and class III. Learn more about the classes in this guide.www.astrodynetdi.com
Very common in japanese products like Denon, Yamaha , Onkyo and such….
Have you tried listening with headphones from the DAC? I wonder if that would be more revealing.
All a better power cable does is lower the noise floor. So it just sounds darker, or more clean.
I noticed a change straight away when changing the wiim power cable and also putting a ferret core on the TV power cable produced a cleaner picture.
What if the noise floor is already below the level of audibility?
Well that depends on the equipment that the wiim is connected to.
