Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW

The power cable in you amp is certainly worthwhile. The only issue is it is likely showing up deficiencies you previously weren't aware of. Hopefully a second cable to you DAC will help. Otherwise, you are probably well and truly on the upgrade junket. 
 

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you also found this effect.  I Audio Quest cable made zero difference on my MC452 or my Parasound JC5.

Based on someone's comments,  I moved it to my D90SE. I'm doing the power supply upgrade to my node2i and that will allow me to try a better cable there. 

I might purchase a second Audio Quest power cable and move it to other equipment like my preamp.  

I thought I was done tweaking now that the pandemic is over but that initial power cord move showed that there was still more left on the table. 

Not the first time I read/hear about lower end AQ cables making a positive difference on DACs. But not on the amp. 
Finny. The higher end AQ such as Tornado and Hurricane always performed better on the amp in my system. I’ve not tried the lower end cables though.
