I became a power cord believer about 15 years ago- Synergistic Research Master Couplers impacted everything I put them on from amp, DAC, pre, even the darn digital reclocker unit. I have had fun "rolling" pc cables since (I could argue they may make THE most significant impact of all my cables)- more recently quite surprised by the sonic impact of not just a linear power supply feeding my Amber Regan (significant), but more importantly, upgrading the power cord connected to the linear power supply- now that one was a shocker-huge impact across the board when I did that. Crazy- a little Teradak DC-30 and with an old PS Audio cable on it it increased resolution by the elussive 5% and possibly more.
But what about with Class D? I currently have a modest, but mystifyingly impressive Bel Canto 300 integrated (usb from dorked-out Mac Mini and external drive), and I have thrown a half dozen different after market pc cords at it and not a single one impacted the presentation that I could tell- and I really wanted it to...I may need to spend bigger bucks, thus I'm waiting for a great deal on a pricier mid-level pc and will try again. I too have been wondering if there is something inherent to Class D that would somehow nullify upgrading the pc...I will be following this subject with great interest and look forward to reading additional information from our knowledgable community. Cheers!
