Denali-X Power Conditioner Package

Only a Limited Number of this High Performance, Special Edition Denali-X will be Built!

The Denali 6000-X is a hot-rod version of Shunyata's reference caliber six-outlet power conditioner. Based on the original 6000S v2, the internals of the X-variant are mostly the same, however, the Denali-X incorporates TWO of the elements featured in the brand-new Everest-X, the TAPc and HARP modules. More on those later, but another gigantic upgrade is that the Denali-X is only available in a combo package with Shunyata's outstanding Sigma-X XC Power Cord! These two together create a world-class power conditioner that's compact, relatively lightweight and delivers tremendous sonic performance.

Only 100 of these amazing conditioners will be built and that means they're going to go very quickly, so act now, before they're all gone!

The Denali-X Limited Edition distills Shunyata Research’s most forward-thinking technologies into a compact, six-outlet design which represents a tour de force of value and performance. This update delivers dramatic advances in resolution over the previous Denali 6000/S v2, which 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.

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.

Transverse Axial Polarizer (TAPc)
A Shunyata Research patent pending technology originally developed to improve the performance of their reference cables, TAPc technology is a radical advancement of their original TAP technology which enables a significant reduction in the size of the modules – which for the first time allows this technology to be applied to power cords.  The sonic results of TAPc include a cavernous drop in perceived noise floor, effortlessly portrayed dynamics and a superb rendering of timing and coherency. The sonic benefits of  TAPc technology are quite simply unique and cannot be replicated by any competing product or technology. Even to an untrained ear, the effects of TAPc are immediately apparent and repeatable across a variety of components and systems. In essence, the TAPc modules are force-multipliers which elevate the listening experience to a level most could not imagine possible.

Power HARP Module
Originally developed to address current resonances within speaker cables, this tech has now been adapted for power distribution as implemented 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.

QR/BB™ Module
 The QR/BB™ module acts as an electric charge reservoir, meaning it stores and releases energy in a manner that improves a component’s access to instantaneous current. Dynamics are actually improved reducing any sense of dynamic strain often heard from amplifiers that are connected with lesser power cables. The sonic result is a lifelike presentation of timing and dynamic contrasts in sound that cannot be replicated by ANY other means.  In layman’s terms, it acts like a super-charger for amplifiers, pre-amps, DACs and CD players.

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 Isolation) 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 interference generated by a component’s power supply.

Dynamic Transient Current Delivery (DTCD)
 DTCD™ Analysis is a technique which measures instantaneous current delivery through low impedance electrical conductors and contacts.  Shunyata Research uses this tech to optimize their designs and improve specification and construction of parts and materials to ensure maximum current delivery performance.  Each part, conductor, noise circuit and material allows for maximum throughput of instantaneous current. Listeners will experience earth-shaking low-frequency performance from even the highest-current amplifiers as well as dynamic contrasts unheard of outside of a live event.  More than any other design parameter, Shunyata Research’s skill in eliminating resistance and maximizing peak-current delivery is unmatched.

Noise Isolation Technology (NIC™)
The NIC™  is a patented technology which greatly reduces high frequency power line noise. NICs™ use a non-reactive ferroelectric substance that actually absorbs high frequency noise.  This lowers the noise floor without any of the negatives associated with other methods, such as power filter coils, capacitors and transformers.

Monolithic Construction
One of  Shunyata's fundamental design imperatives is to ensure life-long performance and durability. Long-term exposure to air will oxidize and corrode wiring as well as sensitive electronic components. All  filters, PCBs, connections and internal wiring inside Denali are contained within a monolithic enclosure which is then potted with ceramic materials to hermetically seal the contents. This protects the circuits and wiring from humidity and oxidation, and eliminates internal vibration between components. This unique construction methodology delivers exceptional and consistent performance which will not degrade over time.

GP-NR Noise Reduction
Significant amounts of noise exist on the ground plane of power lines. Ground wires act as antennae, picking up electrical noise which degrades the performance and operation of electronic components. Ground Plane Noise Reduction (GP-NR™) is a proprietary technology developed by Shunyata Research to significantly reduce ground-plane noise; improving low-level resolution and clarity. For Denali  the system includes two terminals, to connect up to 6 audio components. Shunyata offers several models of CGC chassis grounding cables each made to your length and termination requirements.

Common-Mode Noise Filter (CMode)
Common-mode noise is different than differential noise and is much more difficult to measure and eliminate. For the purest signal possible, Shunyata Research has developed a CMode filter which effectively reduces common-mode noise without introducing the sonic compression effects associated with conventional filters. CMode filtration reduces high-frequency noise distortion while delivering an analog ease and palpable background silence that closes the gap between digital and analog systems.

Cable Cradle
High-end power cables tend to be heavy, which means they will inevitably pull themselves out of the socket. Shunyata's Cable Cradle  surrounds and supports the weight of the power cable right at the plug, preventing even the heaviest of power cords from pulling away from the outlet. This system ensures reliable and secure electrical connections as well as increasing peace of mind.

CopperCONN™ CONNECTORS
CopperCONN’s™ internal metals are culled from solid copper and use a high-tension spring-loaded contacts for vice-like grip.  This contributes to a measurable improvement in DTCD™ performance and a correspondingly obvious difference in audible performance. CopperCONN™ connectors deliver measurably lower-resistance connections to unlock the performance of any component and system. Outlets for the Everest-X (US Only) are platinum-plated for the highest level of sonic purity and electrical transmission possible.

ArNi® Conductors
Shunyata Research’ designed their ArNi® conductors to be the finest quality wire available for power and audio purposes. These conductors start life with the highest purity copper available, OFE C10100 (aka Ohno single crystal). These are then formed into “virtual hollow tubes” dubbed VTX™.  The core of the conductor is completely hollow forcing the current to only travel through the periphery of the conductor, therby eliminating skin effects and random eddy currents. Finally, all ArNi® wire undergoes Shunyata's proprietary KPIP™ process.

Kinetic Phase Inversion Processing (KPIP™)
Shunyata's proprietary Kinetic Phase Inversion Process dramatically reduces burn-in time and significantly improve sonic performance. KPIP is a four-day process which is an essential part of why their products deliver such a relaxed and life-like presentation.

Vibration Isolation
Shunyata Research developed their own ‌vibration isolation after years of research. By using sub-miniature accelerometers to accurately measure the effects of floor and airborne sound waves, Shunyata was able to create vibration absorbing materials such as energy absorbing footers, AC outlet gaskets and chassis dampeners to reduce the negative effects of resonant vibration. In keeping with this approach, Everest's chassis is made with optimally dampened steel and aluminum materials.

Sonic Welding / Cold Welding
Crimping, soldering, brazing and even set-screws are fairly primitive methods of joining two pieces of metal together. Sonic welding uses high-energy sonic waves to literally meld two metals together at a molecular level. Cold-welding uses high-energy pneumatic pressure to bond metals. Shunyata Research uses both methods in order to secure connections which will not degrade over time.

Cryogenic Processing
Shunyata Research operates its own on-site Cryogenics International computer-controlled cryogenic plant. Liquid nitrogen is used to slowly lower the temperature of the chamber down to -320 degrees Fahrenheit. This close to absolute zero, molecules will slow their vibration and slowly pull closer to each other.  A sophisticated computer monitors and lowers the temperature by a single degree at a time which prevents thermal shock to the materials. The materials in the "bath" spend a period of time at this very low temperature and then the computer slowly raises the temperature back to normal. Once returned to room temperature, the materials have been physically changed for the better, improving their sonic and electrical characteristics. Shunyata uses this process to improve the performance of their connectors and various electrical components used in their power products and signal cabling.
