Its funny, because in the time it took to write the post, to say nothing of reading replies, you could have just plugged the darn thing in and figured this out yourself. Which you should do. What you will find, the power cord gives almost exactly the same effect no matter where it goes. The main difference being if used from the conditioner to the DAC then only the DAC gets the benefit. But if used from the wall to the conditioner then everything plugged into the conditioner gets the benefit.
But its not like, five things plugged in so five times as good. Its just usually a little better this way. Usually, because power cords are all over the place and sometimes one might work especially good on one component and not so good on another. This is one way you can tell if a power cord really is good, or is just pretending. The really good ones sound virtually identical no matter what they're used on. No matter what the system either for that matter. Go and listen. You will see.
