PC for LUMIN X1 ! .... Shunyata? Nordost? Synergistic Research? AQ?

I was ready to purchase a Shunyata Alpha V2 PC from my new streamer/dac but after reading a few things I held off.

Now im utterly confused. Way too many options and not enough info comparing. My upper limit for this source component is $2k, but I don't mind buying a used cable either

ultimately this will be going into a gryphon diablo 300 into kef blades 2 if listing the chain helps

The Niagara is excellent! Especially with my tube amps. They sound a lot better than plugged directly to the wall.  This is something I don't think the Shunyata is meant to do.

I tried many power cords with the Lumin and I believe for me, the SR SX is the best.

Also, I am using the Critical Mass 2 footers 1.0 under the Lumin, another big plus.

Well, I am using a Synergistic Research Galileo SX with my Lumin X1 which is plugged into a Niagara 7000 which is using a Audioquest Dragon hi-current into a dedicated line.

To me, all things matter when it comes to AC.
