I am about to try my first explicit power wire update experiment ever.
The insulation on power cord to my DAC is a bit frayed near the connector, so I am using that as an excuse to replace it and see if I can do better.
So I have ordered a $200+ Pangea cord that is on sale for $70 currently.
My justification for picking that particular cord is I want top try something that is designed to work well with digital that should produce some improvement/change of significance over my current stock cord which is heavy duty and well suited for an amp perhaps but nothing special for digital.
FOr digital, shielding against both emmission of noise through the wire by the digital DAC and reception of noise from other nearby wires/devices (which I know can be a problem with my setup based on history) is the main technical benefit I can see on paper with this particular power cord.
I'll report back when I get it and have a chance to assess.
