Power cord recommendation for DAC


I'm temporarily using Shanyata Venom 3 over the stock PC of my DAC. Heard significant improvement. But would like a better source PC than Venom 3. Any recommendation? Budget is $200-300.

I second moving up the Shunyata line. You might find a used Black Mamba CX for just a few dollars above your range. The CX line LOVES DACs.
Kzhtoo,

By all means audition cords, but I offer one note of caution. Power cords take a few hours if not a day to settle once they've been moved around. They also take a while to burn in when new. Based upon personal experience, quick a/b comparisons don't usually lead to accurate results, IMHO. For example, one cord might wow you with initial sparkle or accentuation of something you like but fail to be musical over the long haul.
