Enhanced with reference-caliber DTCD (Dynamic Transient Current Delivery) peak-current performance derived from medical/scientific firm Clear Image Scientific, the Shunyata Hydra Denali D6000/S v2 power conditioner represents the incomparable state-of-the-art in power capability, technology, and design. Every aspect of the six-outlet, six-zone Hydra Denali D6000/S v2 is made to better perfect your listening experience by ensuring you hear more information, nuance, detail, presence, immediacy, clarity, and tonality. And in this money-saving bundle, it comes with a devoted Shunyata Alpha-X XC power cable to hook up to your wall outlet.
Able to deliver unlimited power – enough to supply power to entire systems, including high-demand amplifiers – D6000/S v2 uses a non-limiting 20-Amp hydraulic electromagnetic breaker and massive, 8-gauge internal wiring. Cutting-edge noise-reduction abilities come via patented, increased-efficiency Noise Isolation Chambers (NIC v2) that reduce frequency interference as well as the patent-pending QR/BB, which eliminates the dynamic compression that results when amplifiers are connected to a power conditioner and momentously improves the dynamic range when the amp is connected to a Denali. High-grade CCI (component-to-component) filters developed for medical-imaging applications isolate one component from another, giving you even blacker backgrounds and deeper, wider soundstages. But that's just part of the story behind this U.S.A.-made breakthrough with six isolated zones that eliminate cross-talk between the outlets as well as a clean, screw-less exterior replete with an all-aluminum chassis and brushed aluminum faceplate.
Created to eliminate the noise, pollution, and resistance that negatively impact listening, the successor toThe Absolute Sound Product of the Year Award-winning D6000/S boasts an all-aluminum chassis treated with vibration-dampening panels and a vibration-absorbing system outfitted on every single outlet. The SSF-38 footers, CCI filters, NICs, and QR/BB are all potted with vibration-dampening compound. Shunyata's perfectionist-minded build carries into D6000/S v2's other internal parts. Exclusive to Denali, a cable cradle support system solves any connection problems associated with heavy high-end cables by completely supporting the cable's weight and preventing it from pulling away (or drooping) from the outlet. Shunyata's proprietary CopperCONN outlets yield the highest level of conductivity and least electrical resistance, while patented ArNi conductors and cryogenic treated components further guarantee unsurpassed quality and premium performance. To top it off, each Denali D6000/S v2 is treated with a proprietary KPIP (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) to significantly reduce burn-in time and augment the sonics.
If you've invested in a high-end system, you need clean and continuous power to reap the rewards you deserve. The incredible Denali D6000/S v2 serves this role and more.
"[It's] a true reference-level power conditioner without a true reference-level price. It gets my vote for Caelin Gabriel's best product yet."

Flagship Six-Outlet Power Distributor
Denali 6000/S v2 represents Shunyata Research's flagship six-outlet power distributor. With six independent zones of noise isolation, Denali 6000/S v2 can be used for an entire six component system that includes digital, analog, and high-current electronics. All six outlet zones are designed to provide both exceptional high-current performance and discretely filtered noise isolation that all but eliminates cross talk between components. There are no current restrictions of any kind within the Denali 6000/S v2. Instead, DTCD high-current performance is markedly improved across all outlets. From the industry's most demanding amps, to the most delicate, noise sensitive sources, Denali 6000/S v2 was developed to deliver performance previously unattainable anywhere near its price.
Features and Technologies
Denali 6000/S v2 features patented technologies and proprietary components unavailable in other products. Denali power distributors supply power to multiple components while reducing noise from the power line and intercepting component-to-component noise. It was designed using the DTCD analyzer. DTCD Analysis is a technique that measures instantaneous current through low-impedance electrical conductors and contacts. Shunyata Research uses it to optimize the design, specification and construction of parts and materials to ensure maximum current delivery performance=
Trademarked CCI Noise Reduction
Traditional power conditioners are designed to block incoming noise from outside the home but do not address the noise that is generated by the electronic components themselves. In fact, most conditioners reflect noise back into other components connected to the power conditioner. CCI (Component-to-Component Interference) is one of the most significant but often overlooked aspects to power system performance. The CCI filter consists of a proprietary multi-stage filter that reduces electrical noise and power supply generated interference.
Alpha-X XC Power Cable
ALPHA-X is the entry point to Shunyata Research's "Reference Series" power cords. The ALPHA-X, along with the other X cables, represents the culmination of a 25-year quest to produce the absolute finest performing power cables available. The profound ability of the ALPHA-X power cables to eliminate electrical noise and reduce micro-distortions unveils multiple layers of previously obscured musical cues within the recording – forging a more immersive and lifelike connection to your favorite music.
ALPHA-X imbues the music with a greater sense of timing accuracy, dynamic contrast, and dimensional impact. They impart an unmistakable sense of living presence and coherence to reproduced sound and imagery. The ALPHA-X's immediate signature is apparent as an ineffable sense of quiet within the sound, along with an almost paradoxically startling punctuation of dynamic contrasts. A system of ALPHA-X power cables will remove a large portion of the compression and artifice that separates the live listening experience from that of electronic reproduction.
ALPHA-X elevates the performance of recording and playback systems beyond the most optimistic expectations. Each cable features patented and proprietary technologies not available in competing products. Shunyata Research's NR technology measurably reduces power line noise and has been proven effective in the most demanding medical and professional recording applications.
ALPHA-X features the all-new TAPc technology. TAP (transverse axial polarizer) is a patent-pending technology that Shunyata Research developed to improve the performance of its reference signal cables. The TAPc technology is a radical advancement of the TAP technology that enables a significant reduction in the size of the modules – and for the first time allows this technology to be applied to power cords. The sonic results of TAPc are a cavernous drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics, and a superb sense of timing and coherency. The sonic benefits of the TAPc technology are quite simply unique and cannot be replicated by any competing product or technology.Even to an untrained ear, the effects of the TAPc are immediately apparent and repeatable across a variety of components and systems. In essence, the TAPc modules are force-multipliers that elevate the listening experience to unprecedented levels.
Perhaps no technology has been more thoroughly researched, measured, and third-party-tested than Shunyata Research's power line noise-reduction technology. Gen-2 NR technology, as used in the Gamma and Theta power cord lines, has been proven effective in heart surgery labs across the U.S. and Europe. Countless iconic recording engineers, mastering studios, and musicians are proponents to the efficacy of the NR power cords.
The Gen-3 NR circuit, as used in the ALPHA-X and SIGMA-X power cords, improves upon the sonic performance of the Gen-2 circuit. Transient speed, transparency, and purity are all significantly improved along with an improvement in micro-dynamics. The new NR circuit is also more compatible across a broader spectrum of electronic component types; including preamplifiers and power amplifiers. Even amplifiers operating in pure Class A will realize a significant benefit when using the ALPHA-X NR power cable. (ALPHA-X XC power cords are now, primarily, recommended for use with power distributors.)
Shunyata Research's update to its proprietary KPIP processor represents a significant advancement to a process that permanently preconditions cables and power distributors. It dramatically enhances the sonic performance of the cables to which it is applied and significantly shortens the break-in cycle. All cables, conductors, connectors and outlets undergo a multi-day conditioning process that is an integral aspect to the extraordinary performance of Shunyata Research products.
