Just found some time to try what Aspen suggested, and I was plesently surprised. I have one Powerline and one 3 in 1 Grahams Hydra. Originally, the Powerline is connected to the HiCap and the Hydra connected to the 200+NAPSC+Transporter. First I tried swapping the Powerline from the HiCap to the 200, the system sounded somewhat muddier and less dynamic. Switching it back brought back the dynamics right away. I then switched the Powerline to the Transporter. Now all three Naim devices that need power (200/Hicap/NAPSC) are connected to the Hydra. Right away I know I am getting more resolution. The system is sounding crystalline, may be a little less dynamic than when the HiCap was fed by the Powerline. But overall the system just sounds more transparent. So my initial verdict is the source first (even non-naim source), HiCap comes second and 200 benefits least from the Powerline. Now I will need another Powerline..... Or maybe upgrade to a 282? .... And yes for now the Powerline is staying on the Transporter, which is not even Naim. -- agentsmith System 1: Transporter+Hi-Line RCA-DIN, Naim 202/200/Hicap+Powerline/NAPSC, Harbeth Monitor 30 System 2: SB2 or Airport Express connected via TOSLINK to a Meridian F80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62241 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
