Power cable for Transport


Hi, I was wondering if it's worthwhile to spend a few buck on a power cord on a transport since it transfer only digital data.

I was using my power cord with my Cd player, now I bought a DAC, ans now I'm using it with the DAC, so I wonder if should get a power cord for the tranport.

thank you.

It would seem logical to expect that the biggest benefit of upgrading the power cord on a transport would be that the good quality shielding it presumably provides will prevent digital noise generated within the transport from radiating from the power cord into other parts of the system.

Depending on many unpredictable variables, in any particular application that may be most effectively accomplished by ferrite cores, by an inexpensive cable upgrade, by an expensive cable upgrade, or just by careful routing of cables and power cords. Experimentation in the particular system would seem to be the only way to tell.
