Can gears without a grounding pin (e.g., receivers) benefit from Altaira connection? According to the Shunyata roadmap, 2 prong gears should not be grounded.
I was a little bit confused regarding separating analog from digital so I emailed Shunyata. I was told for best performance, use 2 Signal Hubs to separate analog from digital. Additionally, Shuntaya groups DACs as analog since the output is analog. This is from Shunyata customer service.
Are you connecting earth from each SG to the Everest? SG (digital) to Everest and SG (analog) to Everest? This this the preferred way?
I believe in the Shunyata document, it illustrates daisy chaining SG to SG to power distributor.
Lots of good info!
If a component has no dedicated ground terminal, is it better to ground with an unused input? or output?
If a component has no IEC ground pin, do NOT ground the component, not even with an unused input
Thank you for this information. It wasn't super clear in the document. I've attached a screenshot.
To clarify, if one already has a Chassis Hub (for analog), one can just get a Signal Hub (for digital). However, to obtain optimal performance, get 2 Signal Hubs, one for analog and one for...
I read everything twice :)

My system fits Profile A. Says I can upgrade the effect by separating analog from digital.
If I only have a DAC and an Integrated amp to ground (my music server doesn’t have an IEC ground pin, so not suitable), does segmenting analog from digital still make sense? I will then be using the Chassis hub for the integrated and Signal hub for the dac?
