Upgraded cords for linear power supplies?

I've got a a Keces 12vDC linear power supply feeding my DAC and streamer, and a Swagman Labs 24vAC unit powering my Rega TT-PSU. Is there any reason to use upgraded power cords (Furutech plugs, DH Labs cable) with these? Doesn't all the magic happen in the linear power supply?

Just wondering....

No. The real magic happens in the ultralinear power supplies. Just be sure to use a UL power cord.

I'm sorry to bring this up again, but if the spec of your power supply is an AC output, it is NOT a linear power supply, even it the (Swagman) box it is in is labeled as such.
