Power Conditioner Cables

Upgrading the power cord for my DAC, which plugs into a power conditioner, then realized the conditioner itself
is using just its own original stock rubber cord (which is, however, replaceable). Seems there would be no point unless I first upgrade the power conditioner cord. Never occurred to me before because, apart from the DAC, the only source components using the conditioner lack replaceable power cords of their own.

Funny I don't recall ever reading about upgrading the power cords on conditioners. Bet there are many here who know something about this .  .  .

Miller, thanks, that makes sense and I will now try the cord intended for DAC on the conditioner itself.
Steakster, thanks for the link, hadn't come across it before & will have a read.
lowrider, sorry, as twoleftears says, it is Pangea. I had forgotten this as the top only says Quattro Premier. 
twoleftears, budget would be <$750. If there is nothing especially good in that range, I will just tough it out for now with a better wall connection.

lowrider, sounds like a great bargain if it does all that for such a reasonable price. Like you, I run high current amps straight into the wall. This would be for source devices. Thanks for tip!

lowrider57, using a Quattro Premier with replaceable PC for digital preamp, phono preamp, DAC, and CD. (Tube line stage and power amp plug straight into PS Audio wall outlets, while TT, laptop, FM tuner, cassette player and record cleaner, all with fixed PCs, use a Furman strip also having fixed PC).

Now I learn the Quattro is actually a POS and I am better advised to  replace that piece first. So maybe my question should have been what's the best bargain power conditioner on the market!

Appreciate the advice from all and will play around until I find the most pleasing setup. Makes sense that if system is sufficiently resolving, which I believe it to be, upgrading to AM cords on all amenable components/conditioners would be the optimal solution.

Never heard of it but will have a look.
Might be cool having some Norwegian gear in one's system ;-)
