"DENAFRIPS incorporated in year 2012, focus in developing high end audio equipment at a very affordable price. Throughout the years of intense Research & Development, and continuous improvement of the product lines, DENAFRIPS had finally settled with the current product range equipped with R-2R ladder DAC technology.

Can someone recommend a power cord for the Ares DAC that is below $100? The cheaper the better really.

Just looking for a step up from the one provided as I have read it makes a big difference with this unit.

BTW enjoying the Ares that I got new 3 days ago.

Thanks!

Thank you all for your thoughtful suggestions, I guess I was hoping someone had actually tried some PCs with the Ares. 

Almost on a whim, I ended up buying a Supra LoRad 2.5 CS-US PC.

It cleared some high end hash that I had not noticed was there. The result is blacker blacks in the background, making the low level detail easier to hear.

I am blown away at how good the Ares is. I would not have guessed such low level resolution could come out of my LRS speakers. Also there is a huge amount of space between instruments, of which each has it's own space and almost sounds illuminated from within.

Before I get too carried away I am signing off.

Thanks again everyone

Phil
