Dave,

I read the thread and have a few questions.

I see members plugging this into the Uber first and then plugging your digital equipment (dac, fans, laptop etc) into Digi. The rest of the equipment (amps, cd etc)  plugs into Uber as usual. Is this correct?  

Or can you plug this into your same wall outlet as the Uber? From my understanding of how it works, it would take all the digital/transformer noise from your equipment in your front end out and leave the supply clean for the Uber. I understand this would have to be done elsewhere in the house where there are a lot of equipment with transformers to get rid of that noise as well in the overall power supply.

I will be ordering one but am slightly confused as to what equipment goes where and in what order.

I be contacting you to order one shortly. :-P

Since the UberBUSS and DigiBUSS are on different sides of my listening room, they are not connected together. It makes the digital system quieter than the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet I was using before with all the SMPS attached. 

My UberBUSS has a MicroBUSS attached for more outlets to the system.  All linear supplies on this pair.

Jesse, the best way to use the Digi/Uber combo is the way that sounds best.  I know that sounds flippant, but it is because there are few absolutes in audio.  Inflow power systems used with very high sensitivity speakers, plugging the Digi into the wall and the Uber into the Digi "may" sound better in homes with lots of CFL's, LED lamps and fans on speed controls, etc.  You have to assess your own noise generation and use the Digi where it will do the most good.  If you have a high power system with amps that draw a lot of current you will probably have better results with plugging the Uber into the wall and the Digi into the Uber.

The DigiBUSS is the only product that I make that is potentially current limiting.  Part of the guts of the Digi is a very low resistance 25A inductor that under high surge currents can show impedance that the same straight 34" length of 12a wire would not.

Bottom line:  whatever works, but I would plug the Digi into the Uber under normal conditions.

I've had a Digi-Buss and Buss-Stop for a few months now. The former has one Pass & Seymour 5362, one Furutech GTX Rhodium and one Furu GTX Gold. The latter has one Pass & Seymour 5362, one Furutech GTX Gold and one Furu FPX Gold.

Into the Digi-Buss are my Mac Mini, external HD, Uptone Regen, AR-T Legato and DAC. The Digi-Buss, and my amp during lightning season, are plugged into the Buss-Stop.

The Buss-Stop, like the Mini-Buss I had previously, does an excellent job of passing through power without degrading the sound in any significant way. There is just a slight diminution of macro-dynamics - with my amp only - which requires attentive listening to hear.

Although I have a whole house surge protector, the additional protection from external surges (I live in the lightning capitol of the country) as well as the protection from internal surges (refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) - especially for my computer gear - makes the Buss-Stop well worth the expense to me.

The Digi-Buss, on the other hand, reduces the noise level, provides more resolution, and actually increases both macro and micro dynamics. Again, well worth it for me.

Thanks, Pete.  The little things live close to the noise floor, huh!?
