W Audio AC Power Filter Conditioner w/Surge Protector

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression - that's a picture from the online reviews at Amazon.
We were making beautiful music together. it tripped the breaker a couple of times and now it will not reset. So good I don't want to return it. It was not hot to the touch, and I did not smell anything burning. I'll give it a good night's rest and try it again in the morning. 
I had a similar experience with improved SQ putting a Schaffner common/differential mode filter between the AC power cord and the Farad powering my modem. Added a significant amount of clarity, especially in the midrange. I already have a DigiBUSS, ATL DC blocker, and Bryston Isolation transformer providing line conditioning. Apparently you can't have too much.
After 48 I hear increased dynamics, clarity, reduced nose and spatial isolation. Surprising. That is with it plugged into the previous surge protector. I have climb under the dresser to plug it directly into the wall. I will do that tonight.
I have decided switch this out for a new one. For me it is easier than trying to get a warranty repair down the road. The box was open when I received it, that means I may have paid full price for an open box return.
I do not know why. but it seems digital benefits from cables and noise filtering far more than analog. I'll leave it to the experts.

I installed the new unit today. Clearly the old one was inferior. For me this a head scratcher. I'll just hold comment until I get a premium usb for the XDuoo/HD800S combo.
Is the word I am looking for epiphany? I fully expected to return this unit informing them it was not ready for prime time.
