Power Cord for DAC


I am looking for a power cord to use with a Bricasti DAC.  Looking for good tone and timbre and a slightly dark sound.  

Price range 1000-1500.

Candidates thus far: Zenwave Audio, Purist Audio and Kimber Kable.

Any ( constructive ) suggestions would be appreciated.

Happy Memorial Day to all.

Hello Mdrone.  Shielded power cords are available fro Parts Exprss for $5.00. You don't need huge wires (12 gauge or so) because the DAC doesn't draw much power. You can find large shielded power cords on Amazon for $40 - $50. Be sure it's flexible enough that it doesn''t pull your dac off the shelf. Spend your money on music. Happy shopping.

Best power cords I’ve tried on DACs is the Audience AU24se. They come up once in a while on a used market. Open and natural sound with great bass. But I can’t describe the sound of audience cables as dark. Transparent and neutral without emphasis on any particular frequency region yes but dark they’re not.

+1 on the Audience Au 24SE. I have the MP ( medium power) version and sounds great on my Bricasti M3. Replaced a Triode Wire Labs. 
Seems like the SE model is kinda of a sweet spot for value and performance   Still not cheap on the used market but offer a nice well balanced sound. Great company who supports all their legacy products, with most products having the ability to be upgraded to the newer model.
 

I’d remove Kimber from your list. Kimber makes nice PC’s for analog  but they are unshielded and will add noise to digital components. I’d look at a WyWires Platinum Juice II Digital series PC which is a shielded cable which will have a lower noise floor. Used to use Kimber and enjoyed them but moved on to WyWires and Nordost… no comparison.
