Cardas Power Cords for DAC

I gave up contacting Cardas with questions, as they almost never respond. Even when they do, they tell you nothing, other than ask questions, and then never follow up when you answer them. Shame!

Anyways... looking for a power cord for my DAC. I have Cardas Clear for my Amp and Clear Beyond for my power conditioner, but not sure if they good for a digital source like DAC / Streamer (Ayre QX-5). Would the cheaper Clear M be good for the DAC? Or should I look at other brands?

@thyname I have similar components, It will be interesting to see where you end up with the power cable on your DAC or source.

What are your components @mikey8811 ?

I just got a Wireworld Platinum Electra 7 for my DAC, and I am loving it!

Best pc should be on your power distributor/conditioner.

Sources? I like to think that everything flows downstream from sources. I value neutrality, nothing added. So, I use Belden-19364 + Sonarquest plugs on my three digital sources. Very neutral, plugged into my power conds.

If you want a Cardas recommendation, I would favor one of:
- Parsec C15
- Clear-M C15
-Twinlink C15

Parsec and Twinlink are $ friendly and you would be very hard pressed to hear a diff vs. Clear-M.
