Power Conditioner Cables

Upgrading the power cord for my DAC, which plugs into a power conditioner, then realized the conditioner itself
is using just its own original stock rubber cord (which is, however, replaceable). Seems there would be no point unless I first upgrade the power conditioner cord. Never occurred to me before because, apart from the DAC, the only source components using the conditioner lack replaceable power cords of their own.

Funny I don't recall ever reading about upgrading the power cords on conditioners. Bet there are many here who know something about this .  .  .

It's a Pangea (Audio Advisor) power strip.

So first question: budget?

Miller, thanks, that makes sense and I will now try the cord intended for DAC on the conditioner itself.
Steakster, thanks for the link, hadn't come across it before & will have a read.
lowrider, sorry, as twoleftears says, it is Pangea. I had forgotten this as the top only says Quattro Premier. 
twoleftears, budget would be <$750. If there is nothing especially good in that range, I will just tough it out for now with a better wall connection.

The ability to hear material benefit from power cord changes is highly dependent on how resolving your system is.

millercarbon speaks wisdom here

always recognize when you have a zero cost trial to help you decide right in front of you

but we are all prone to sitting on our asses listening to tunes and typing, rather than get up off the couch and swapping something and trying to hear a difference LOL

There may also be the possibility when placing your aftermarket cord on conditioner only results in very slight improvement, then additionally adding AM cord on DAC as well can complete the large improvement. Experimentation is the key. Good luck.
