Hi current or source power cable

I have a question, I have a Bel Cantos 3.7 Dac I am wondering if it would be better to use a High current power cable, or a source power cable? 
I ask this question because the Bel Canto 3.7 like some of their other Dac’s, have a separate power supplies.

Thanks

The external power supply does not need more power.  If anything less.

So I should have also mentioned that I am running the Audioquest hurricane series power cords. So I ask this question because I’m unsure of which one to use.

Why not try and make the determination by listening? Use the cord that works the best. Hurricane is really good.

I have heard, that using a source cord where a high current cord should be used could damage the source cord.  🤷🏻‍♂️

That I don’t know but do know that source cords aren’t recommended by AQ for use on power amps or power conditioners. But your question was around using high current cords on source components. And that is completely fine.
