I have all ARC equipment (click on my user name to see my systems). I prefer Transparent interconnects and power cords. You want interconnects and power cords to do no tonal changes to the ARC signal. I have found Transparent best for that. I am not alone… it is a “known” synergistic association.
Shunyada has a good discussion of why the “last few feet shouldn’t matter argument” does not work. But logical arguments don’t really matter, when you change the PC and the sound dramatically changes… you just have to throw the argument out the window because it doesn’t explain reality.
