Teletrout, I must correct you on part of your post.
"Does a power cord actually make a difference with these new digital Class D amps?"
Class D Amps ARE NOT DIGITAL. They are analog. The D has nothing to do with them being digital.
As far as power cords go for Class D amps. They can make a difference. It depends on the amp and the power cord.
Merrill Audio includes a power cord that they know will work well with and show how great their amp can sound. But there are other power cords that should bring even better sound to Merrill Audio Amps. Also there are several others that have included a quality power cord with their amps.
And as Plato mentions depending on the rest of your system and tastes you might like one cord over another.
But you still need to find a power cord that works well with your amp, as some will just rob the life out of it.
