Power Cord for DAC

Hi,

There are so many power cords at every prices. The most expensive one doesn’t mean it is the one that you will love on your dac. Perhaps a shop could leave some on loan for a test. That’s the best way. On my dac, I have change the original fuse by a better one as well. For example, hifi tuning supreme fuse.

I use Triode Wire Labs with my Innuos Zenith Mark III & it sounds really good.  Triode makes really good cables  @ relatively reasonable prices. Probably worth checking them out. 

Hello Mdrone.  Shielded power cords are available fro Parts Exprss for $5.00. You don't need huge wires (12 gauge or so) because the DAC doesn't draw much power. You can find large shielded power cords on Amazon for $40 - $50. Be sure it's flexible enough that it doesn''t pull your dac off the shelf. Spend your money on music. Happy shopping.

I'd say all you need is an Audioquest X3 power cord.

Best power cords I’ve tried on DACs is the Audience AU24se. They come up once in a while on a used market. Open and natural sound with great bass. But I can’t describe the sound of audience cables as dark. Transparent and neutral without emphasis on any particular frequency region yes but dark they’re not.
