PANGEA AUDIO AC 14SE MKII SIGNATURE POWER CABLE OR WHAT?

I'm looking to dabble a bit more with power cables and am looking at upgrading from my $35 Waudio power cable (Red 3.3 ft 10 AWG) and am leaning towards the $99 Pangea Audio AC 14SE MKII Signature power cable (1.5 meter) for use on my Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC with WE396A tube and Sparkos Labs op amps.

The Waudio power cable made a nice improvement for my Pathos Classic One MkIII, but I didn't really notice anything different with one on my DAC.  My plan is to repurpose the Waudio power cable to my Integra receiver.

What other power cords would be worth considering in a similar price range for a DAC?

Having been down this power cable road for a while now, I have had an evolving opinion as to how much is worthwhile to spend to get the optimal power handling and SQ benefits. So having prefaced my recommendations I would recommend any of the following:

1. The top of the line Pangea power cables, especially for amps. Their top of the line cable comes with one of the largest gauges of conductor that is out there at a reasonable price. Plus it has presumably good quality Cardas copper. 
2. Shunyata Venom

3. No disagreement with Zavfino. 
4. DH Labs PowerPlus. 
I am sure there are others.
