Power cord for Aurender N20?

I’m wondering who has upgraded the stock cord on the Aurender N20 and what were the results?
My price range is between $1,000 and 2,000 (new or used). 

I have upgraded power cords on all my equipment except the N20. Swapping cords seemed to have more effect on my other equipment than on the N20 (perhaps it’s the better power supply in this Aurender). 
thanks for your help.

I have a the N200 and after trying the power cords on my other equipment (AQ, Audio Envy and Puritan), I found the Nordost Heimdall 2 Power Cord worked well. I think it improves dynamic range without emphasizing digital harshness.

Good luck on your search.

My experience with the N20….  I was advised that it will be sensitive to the power cord used and I opted for the more expensive cable in my system. I was pleased with the results. But since we are in the hobby we’re always looking for more. So I did an experiment and swapped the better cable from the N20 and put it into my DAC. The lesser cable into the N20 degraded the sound. It wasn’t a small thing because my wife asked me what I did to break the system and was not happy. Can’t make this stuff up.

I use Puritan Audio Ultimate XX Power Cables in all my equipment, including my N20. I have been very happy with them and the Puritan Power conditioner.
