I stopped shipping cords with my builds as people always tossed the cheapo one and used something better, and I was tired of the waste. I suspect Spatial has the same policy, so you probably should enquire. I know Lampizator doesn't ship cords with their DACs. Honestly, any of the $50+ entry level "audiophile" cords will be far better than the cheap computer grade ones that come with most gear. It is the standard N American 3 prong male connector. I would just order some half decent cord. You don't need to go crazy. Many of us have a bit of a collection of them, so you may already have something to use in your stash.
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
Spatial is supposed to be shipping the first "wave" from pre orders of this preamplifier in May, does anyone have one on order? Was hoping to hear about it from AXPONA but I guess they were not there. It's on my list for future possibilities. It seems to check all my boxes if I need a preamp.

@brbrock I got the Spatial Pre and Mono's. In itself I couldn't say the Ravin is the cat's PJ's as I'm thrilled with the whole system/room the Raven pre is the heart of. I was able to compare the Spatial suite to 1.) a Lumin Amp w/ Lumin X1 and 2,) a Roger's KWM-88 MK2 Integrated Amplifier with the Lumin X1 and also a Grimm MU1/Weiss 501. Speakers are K horns and REL subs. Power is treated and ethernet is all cleaned up (After rack shows up, will update systems). The Spatial suite using the Grimm MU1 is the best of the three. It's more musical and there's no listening fatigue. Nothing wrong with the others. May let Lumin stuff go but not the Rodgers. (After warm up) I can turn up the volume and with nothing playing standing a half and inch away from a speaker I can't hear anything, The Ravin is tops. If your speakers are efficient enough the Raven Pre and Blackbird Monos are synergistic masterpieces. There's a waiting list for a reason. I got more than I paid for. Happy camper!
