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.

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!

I am unable to determine percent improvement with cables or gear changes. I only have a baseline of 0% which is system off. Turning it all on is a 100% improvement. 
I’m trying to not be sarcastic here. I just don’t have a frame of reference.

There is a real problem using percentages. One can talk yourself into any frame of reference. So, if you think about a cheap 1960’s transistor radio, a 1970’s consumer stereo, a current midfi system. Then compare a high end $50K system with a $100K high end system… it would be hard to conclude there is more than a <..1% difference.

if you think just about your last $50K system with your new $100K system… huge difference. 
 

The % thing is just fraught with problems.

if you break things down into dozens of attributes like bass transients, and micro details… you can communicate differences.
