As IEC socket on Devialet is very tight, it is next to impossible to use new Sigma cables. I wonder whether Shunyata will make a dedicated Sigma variant cable for Devialet to take advantage of new Sigma technology. As Devialet is power amp and DAC in one piece, Shunyata may be can make a hybrid Sigma HC and digital for Devialet.

I second the question, planning to be a Devialet user myself. Looks like another Shunyata PC product may work; but not the Sigma series, which would be a terrible shame. Shunyata can you help us out? Thanks in advance.

EDIT- have you looked in the Shunyata Accessories section? they have a Universal Power Adapter made for tight IEC situations like the Mark Levinson products. I don't see why these wouldn't work for the Devialet line of products as well. I know it's not the same as a dedicated PC solution, but this may be just fine. Just a thought.

I use 2 of the SHUNYATA - ZITRON ALPHA DIGITAL POWER CABLES on my Devialet 400. Seems great. I just leave off the back cover.

Why can't you order these cables with an IEC connector like the Cardas that fits under the back cover?
Why does any Digital component like the Devialets that have filtered PEMs need a special "digital" PC?

I could, but don't feel like spending the money. I already had the Alpha Digital cables so I figured I'd use them. Do I "need" to use them? I don't know. I love what I am hearing and that's good enough for me.

We make a cable that was specifically designed for the Devialet called the Z-PC10 that will fit with the cover on. it is roughly equivalent to the Alpha Digital in performance.

As Erik and Joe have already said, the Sigma fits fine with the cover off.
