A
TOUR-DE-FORCE IN TECHNOLOGY &
PERFORMANCE
Denali-X Limited Edition distills
Shunyata Research’s most
forward-thinking technologies into a
compact, six-outlet design that
represents a tour de force of value
and performance. Its dramatic
advances in resolution over the
Denali 6000/S v2 are driven by the
inclusion of Shunyata’s
revolutionary TAPc and HARP
technologies. The sympathetic
combination of these innovations in
Denali-X will forever redefine
expectations for the role
power-distribution plays in the
performance of recording, mastering
or listening systems.
FURY BEHIND THE
SILENCE
Behind the absolute silence imparted
by the Denali-X lies a furious
precision and boundless energy that
adds a visceral, physical dimension
to the listening experience. Systems
powered by Denali-X exhibit a
palpable authority, revealing
striking improvements in scale,
dynamic contrast, and fine detail
retrieval. From whisper-quiet
nuances to thunderous crescendos,
they operate at the peak of their
capability, unbound by the
limitations of conventional power
solutions. With Denali-X managing
power the impression that the system
has grown in size, scale and
dimension has been a revelation. Few
products, in any category or at any
price, achieve such a profound
transformation.
GROUNDBREAKING
TECHNOLOGY
 |
|
TAP (Transverse Axial Polarizer) is a patent-pending technology developed by Shunyata Research to enhance the performance of its reference signal cables. The evolution of this technology has led to the creation of TAPc, a groundbreaking advancement that significantly reduces the size of the modules, enabling their application across a broader range of products, including power distributors, power cords, interconnects, digital cables and speaker cables. The sonic results of TAPc technology include a profound drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics, and an exceptional rendering of timing and coherency. These benefits are unique to TAPc, setting it apart from any competing product or technology. Even to an untrained ear, the effects of TAPc are immediately apparent and consistently repeatable across various components and systems. Essentially, the TAPc modules act as force multipliers, elevating the listening experience to levels many would not have thought possible.

POWER HARP
technology, originally
developed to address
current resonances in
speaker cables, has now
been adapted for power
distribution in the
Denali-X. Through
extensive research,
Caelin Gabriel
identified the presence
of current drift and
audio-frequency current
resonances within power
delivery systems, much
like standing wave modes
in room acoustics. In
the Denali-X, the HARP
module functions as a
current-mode diffraction
device, disrupting these
resonances to enhance
resolution, coherence,
and dynamic stability
across connected
components. By
mitigating these power
system artifacts, HARP
technology helps create
a more refined, noise
free listening
experience, allowing the
full potential of a
system to be realized. |

The QR/BB™ is a patented device which dramatically enhances the perception of dynamic impact and timing when connected to amplifiers or other high-current electronics. The QR/BB™ is unique in that it provides a local reserve of energy, or Coulomb charge, that mitigates the inductive reactance of the AC power line without using coils, transformers or capacitors. The QR/BB™ acts as an instantaneous energy reserve when placed in-line with an AC power supply.

KPIP v2™
Shunyata Research’s
proprietary Kinetic
Phase Inversion Process
includes four days of
continuous KPIP v2™
processing which refines
conductor metals at the
atomic level. This
dramatically reduces
burn-in time and
significantly improves
sonic performance,
delivering a relaxed and
life-like presentation.
When compared to the
original process, KPIP
v2™ represents a
dramatic performance
upgrade on par with a
component-level upgrade. |

The NIC™ (Noise Isolation Chamber) is a patented Shunyata Research device that reduces high frequency power line noise. It employs a ferroelectric substance that actually absorbs high frequency noise without any of the reactive negatives associated with transformers and large capacitors as used in conventional power conditioners.

Many
audiophile grade
connectors are made from
brass or bronze. While
some may get a plating
of silver, gold or
rhodium, the majority of
the current is carried
by the contact’s
base-metal. CopperCONN®
connectors contain pure
copper contacts which
have a much higher
conductivity than brass.
The difference in
performance is clearly
audible. |

CCI™
filters have the unique
ability to reduce
component-generated
power line noise without
inhibiting DTCD® (dynamic
transient current
delivery). This unique
filter element prevents
power line noise from
one component
contaminating the other
adjacent electronic
components. Shunyata
Research’s CCI™ filter
modules consist of
proprietary multi-stage
filters that reduce
power supply-generated
noise without the use of
heavy transformers,
coils or large
capacitors. |

DTCD® Analysis is a proprietary measurement technique developed to measure instantaneous current flow through very low impedance electrical conductors and contacts. It is used to optimize the design of electrical parts and materials, ensuring optimal instantaneous current delivery. DTCD® Analysis gives Shunyata Research a clear competitive advantage in the design and development of high performance power delivery products.
