Power cord for Aurender N20?

Like a few others, I have had great results using Shunyata Sigma power cables on all of my components.  I don't have an Aurender; I use an MSB Discrete with a Premier Powerbase, but I have been very pleased with the switch to the Sigma power cable and IC's to the Preamp and from Pre to amp.  I think that when we are talking about cables, the differences can be audible, but it is not like you have a new system.  More like a 5% improvement, so don't expect miracles.  Cables can fine-tune those last few percentage points, and made an audible difference in my system, but YMMV.

Buy the cheapest power cable can find on Amazon or at Walmart. You won’t be able to tell the difference, and that’s a fact (Pro Tip: that’s because there is no difference).
 

Well if you buy the cheapest streamers and DACs on Amazon then you would also buy the cheapest power cables there. 
Also, if you’re hard of hearing, you would buy your power cords and all of your audio equipment from Walmart. Which is what you have - a clogged ear and a Walmart stereo. And that’s as much of a fact as your statement about cables not making any difference. 
Here’s something else you can pick up at Walmart next time you go shopping there for a power cord…

FWIW there is a Snake River Audio Signature 1.5M on USAM for $600 right now. I would verify it is the signature and not cottonmouth as there are no pictures.

With due respect if you are only getting a 5% bump in SQ you've chosen the wrong cable.

I've found in my personal experience using the same speaker cables and IC's can work very well but a complete loom doesn't.

It's more Audiofoolery, cables need to match diversified components.
