AC power cord for Rotel RCD-1072

I noticed that many of theses CD players have been sold and bought on Audiogon. It is a popular player. Can I ask those who have owned or still own this unit which AC power cord did you upgrade to if you did upgrade from the factory supplied cord and did it really make a difference in the unit's performance? Many thanks.

When I had my 1072, I used a Signal Cable MagicPower Digital Reference and was very happy. Excellent "bang for the buck" cable.

Thanks. The Signal Cable Magic Power Digital Reference looks reasonably priced at $69.00 for 3' and then $7.00 for each additional foot. Just in my budget. The Audioquest NRG-5 is way out of my budget ($455.00) but I appreciate the recommendation. I was thinking of the NRG 1.5 or 2 for about $105.00.

What I'm looking to enhance is the overall soundstage and bass extension of the player by upgrading the AC power cord. Would I get that improvement with the Signal Cable Magic Digital Ref or the NRG 1.5 or 2.0?
