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.

@lordmelton, You may indeed be right, but we are now entering the Twilight Zone!  As you know, there are huge debates on here about whether there is any difference at all between cables.  And when you start assigning percentages of SQ improvement from different cables, you are firmly in the area of total subjectivity.  My 5% might be your 10%, for example.  Who knows? Since the difference in the sound of different cables is not capable of any type of objective measurement, we are left with my guess or yours. However, I can only say that the Shunyata's are the best cables that I have had in my system to date.  To me, they strike a good balance between cost on the used market and the result from plugging them in. But I' ll never know since I am sticking with them for now, LOL!
