RE: PS Audio UPC-200 - Anyone with experience-based feedback?

I have four upc200s on four dedicated circuits feeding main amp, subwoofer amp, preamp and digital sources. Overall I've found that the upc200 gives a moderate but not massive improvement. The most significant improvement for me was with digital source components and this is probably because the upc allows less junk back onto the ac line (according to PSA). I could also hear a difference for the better when the main amp was plugged into the upc compared to straight in the wall, but not as great a difference as with the source components. By the way, I am also using the Data Basic II and GenVa (with a Genesis digital lens).

Based on this experience I would suggest you try using the upc in dual mode with transport on one duplex, DAC on the other and everything else on other circuits (assuming other circuits aren't too compromised with the usual offenders). If you need or want to put more on the upc, then you could try transport/DAC on one duplex and pre on the other (upc in dual mode). I don't know how power hungry the 201s are, but amps on the same circuit might constrict dynamics.

Of course YMMV, but I think the above is a good starting point.
