Power Cord for DAC


I am looking for a power cord to use with a Bricasti DAC.  Looking for good tone and timbre and a slightly dark sound.  

Price range 1000-1500.

Candidates thus far: Zenwave Audio, Purist Audio and Kimber Kable.

Any ( constructive ) suggestions would be appreciated.

Happy Memorial Day to all.

I’d remove Kimber from your list. Kimber makes nice PC’s for analog  but they are unshielded and will add noise to digital components. I’d look at a WyWires Platinum Juice II Digital series PC which is a shielded cable which will have a lower noise floor. Used to use Kimber and enjoyed them but moved on to WyWires and Nordost… no comparison.

I have Wywire Platinum Digital Power cords on my DAC and Pre amp  I think they are in your price range.

Providing advise on selecting brand or model of a power, or any cable for that matter, is nigh on impossible. However, from my experience, it is worth you doing some research into the cable engineering philosophy of various companies and find a manufacturer that provides you with some confidence.

In my case, I have the a full suite of cables from a single, small cable builder who worked on military aircraft communications and earthing systems. I was fortunate to be able to hear a system with his cables used throughout and with most of the hi-fi separate components that I have. This listening experience made my decision to go with one designer/manufacturer for all my cables and I have not changed any of them in 6 years.

Hope this makes sense and in a small way helps you to use your own judgement.
