A Better Bluesound AC Cable?


Has anybody replaced the stock C7 IEC (Figure 8) cable on their Bluesound Node 2?
Audioquest makes an affordable 2-prong cable...

And a C7 to 3-prong...

Or does it make more sense to use a C7 to standard adapter ?

@gdnrbob, 
I have the Wireworld Mini Aurora C7 for a 30 day audition, $120 for 5 ft. Read my comments above as to why I'm returning it, but it sounds terrific. Realistic, lively, transparent. It really opened up the Bluesound.

@lowrider57 ,
I forgot to ask or didn't see it, but are you using the Bluesound internal DAC or an external DAC?

Bob, I never tried the internal DAC only because I have a very fine Audio Note plus a High Fidelity S/PDIF cable. 
Sounds wonderful with the Wireworld PC, but pretty dull and uninvolving with the stock.

Hi, I tried the nordost purpleflare, and liked it. Sound was a bit more detailed than standard.
Later on I upgraded the rest of the system to audioquest and used a audioquest z2. Sound was a little deeper and darker. I liked it better. Changes were very small.
Just picked up a new or refurbish Vault 2 directly from Bluesound and I am very pleased to say least. 

I tried it directly to my preamp with Wywires Silver IC’s and it didn’t sound too bad then with a Nordost Silver Shadow to the DAC in my CD player and pretty noticeable difference for the better.

I should have my parts today from VH Audio to build my own which I went with Furutech FI-11M and FI-8NC7, then using VH Audio Shielded Twisted Pair AC cable which I will tie the shield back at the wall. I might build the cable so I can float the shield on the fly as well. After I get some hours I will report my findings.

Also ordered a Supra CAT 8 Ethernet cable which I’ll have in a few days as well.
