Which one benefits more from a better power cord?


DAC or the Transport???

I have just purchased EMM CDSD and DAC6e and have one reference cord (Elrod Statement) and some other lower level Elrods. So which component should I feed with the Statement?

Well, the equipment are stacked in a vertical stand and handling and positioning Elrod cables are axtremely difficult, especially, the Statement which is humongous.

Of course, I'll try once to see if there is a difference but I just wanted to know if there is a certain preference.
OK, I've tried switching the huge Elrod Statement between Transport and DAC several times and found it sounds better when connected to the transport. The difference is not huge but I felt it gave me more focus and dynamics. When the big Elrod was connected to the DAC it sounded also a bit more edgy and metallic.
Shadorne,

It may also be different with other gear and the quality of power supplies. When you say DAC is an analog device you've got me a bit confused as I connect the power cord of my DAC6e to the digital outlets of my Audio Magic Transendence power condiotioner. Is this something I should have avoided and connect the DAC to the low level outputs?
