component where PC does not make a difference

Has anyone ever had a component whose sound did not change significantly (or at all) with changes in power cords? I have found that different power cords don't really affect the sound of my amp (ARC VS60), but differences among those same power cords are revealed when hooking them to my DAC (ARC DAC7). Is that representative of tube amps in general or perhaps just this component? Would you expect that the differing "sonic traits" of various power cords would be better revealed on a DAC than a (tube) amp?

I have found that power cords make the biggest difference on the source. CD player, DAC...
I get a very small difference on the amp, but on the CD player there is a huge difference.

My sub responds quite well with different PC's. Some good and some not so good.
