Power Cables - Which component first?

All,

Have assembled a nice mid-to-high audio setup now, and have established 20A dedicated circuits to support the power with higher end outlets as well. Question - as I evaluate different power cords which component first, here is my proposal -- please share your thoughts:

1) CDP
2) Integrated Amp
3) DAC

Again, trying not to confuse the discussion with brand of cable or my own specific setup -- just where is the typical bang for the buck when replacing stock PCs.

Thanks!

Experiment for yourself is the best advice. I know many will say source first, this wasn't so in my case. Your room, your gear, your setup and your ears are different. That's why they make so many different flavors.

BTW, if your components are plugged into a power conditioner, you may find that a cord on the power conditioner is the best place to start.
