Advice on DPC-6 and Sigma Analog Power Cords

Thanks Caelin. I have an opportunity to trade in the Anaconda for a Sigma HC for my just-ordered Triton v2.

Had thought about an Alpha HC cord, but could retain the Anaconda if you feel it's better.

To trade an Anaconda for a Alpha HC: Not a big enough change to spend money on IMO.

To trade in an Anaconda for a Sigma HC on a Triton: That is a worthy improvement

I more meant, does it make sense to trade in the Anaconda PC for the Sigma HC (for the Triton v2) and perhaps get an Alpha HC for the DPC, which will host just computer components?

Curious if so really lose anything using an Alpha HC for the DPC to Triton v2.

I'm planning on ordering more Sigma PCs, intended for audio components - two Digitals (one for DAC and one for CD player), then an Analog for my turntable power supply. I will move my Sigma Analog PC - currently on my DAC - to my phono preamp.

Enjoying the Sigma Analog PC on my new Ayre KX-R Twenty preamp.

I would get the Sigma HC for the Triton. Keep the Anaconda for the DPC-6 and save the money for Sigmas on other components.

Plug the clock and transport and any computer related components into the HYDRA DPC-6. This is what is was designed for.

The best PC for the DAC is the SIGMA Digital but some people, in some systems, "might" prefer the Analog version. You didn't mention what power cables you have on the clock and transport but those need a good noise reduction power cord also.

I've now got a full loom on order for my dCS full stack. I'm doing Sigma Digital cables on all four components, but plugging the DAC in to the Triton V2. The upsampler, transport, and clock are all going to the DPC-6.

I've ordered 10 Anaconda digital cables too (5 for clock, and 5 for digital-to-digital connections).
