I can't believe some of these so called "Audiophiles" who say that any ordinary stock cord is just as good as the higher end power cords. I just upgraded my DAC PC from an old Shunyata Research to the Pangea AC 14 XL with Cardas copper. I too was skeptical if there would be an improvement and boy was I in for a real treat in upgrade in transparency, 3D soundstage, clarity and solid bass. The best was the price. It didn't break the bank
Good Luck
