Yep, I do.
The Triton V1 was a breakthrough in it's day, but the current Venom V16...smokes it.
While I noticed a nice improvement in audio quality with the Triton V1, the improvement with the V16 is quite a bit more noticeble. While they both provided the same actual number of noise reduction, 24dB, the new V16 seems quieter to me. Also, the presentation is fuller, weightier-sounding, more dynamic with greater immediacy, and more "fleshed-out" 3-dimensionally. Also, my power amp would hum without a cheater plug when plugged into my Triton V1, it does not with the Venom V16.
Plus the V16 has a ground post for use with Shunyata's GP-NR ground plane noise-reduction system, which will notaby reduce noise on the ground plane of component(s) attached to it. Preamps and DACs, streamers, etc. are a great component to connect to it, for example. Also, the outlets grab ahold of the plug prongs MUCH more tightly.
