Power Cord Order of importance


Currently,  I have Kimber Power Cords for the Amps and Pre-amp.  They are ok.  I have an Inakustic 2404 Power cord for my DAC.  I am buying a music server soon.  I am thinking about upgrading Power cords in two components.  Which components should get the reference level PC's?  I am probably going to spend around $3k for two new PC's.  

Mono Amps
Pre- Amp
DAC
Server

I am looking for the biggest impact on sound quality from a component perspective.

In my full analogue set-up the biggest difference was when I put reference level power cord - Purist Dominus ferox- on the power amp, followed by the Dominus on PS Audio regenerator. After that phono stage and preamp - about equal.
Digital is different, so I would not be sure. Might be DAC plus server or DAC plus preamp, and it still might be on monoblocks.
But different components may need different power cords and as such you may have to decide in advance. Some cords work almost equally well anywhere while others don't. Matching power cords and components is not so easy and straightforward if we are talking reference or near reference level.
