Linear Power Supply for a DAC

I’m looking for a recommendation for a Linear Power Supply for a Chord DAC. There are some units available in the UK, but I’d rather find one here in the USA.
The DAC is the Chord QuteHD DSD Dac and I’m currently using the stock wall-wart.

Power supply specs are: 12v, 1A, 2.1mm connector. The DAC has a grounding post if needed.

I found this Teddy Pardo model, and the specs say power output “up to 2A.” Would this be a good match for my DAC?

Looking for quality, but wouldn’t mind finding something less expensive than the Pardo.

I have a Swagman Labs SE LPS that's worked well for me. I'd like to upgrade the stock DC cable from the power supply to the 2.5mm barrel connector.

First question; what is this cable called? It has a lockable circular plug.

And lastly, any recommendations (under $100) ?

Ok, now I know what I'm looking for. Any recommendations for a DC cable for linear power supply with lockable circular socket? Twisted conductors rather than the stock cable. Thanks.

I only found Canare in the archives.

Yes they are a big upgrade and the only option I found that was reasonable price.
