Power cord recommendation for a dac?


Need a power cord for my new MHDT Orchid tube dac. Looking for something rich and detailed and absolutely glare/grain free, 500 or less, used or new -- something especially palpable in vocal and mid-bass frequencies.

I find the whole cable thing very confusing. Some of the 'science' the goes into the manufacture of some cables actually defies physics but that is an aside. I have a system that has cost me in excess of $US40k and I use Kimber 8TC speaker cable and pretty basic wireworld and/or Kimber interconnects. I have tried speaker cables the sell for over $3k, interconnects up to $2k and some very expensive power cords and plugs. The only time I hear any real difference was when I spent $350 on 1 metre phono cables. I just can't hear any improvement. I recently pruchased an Auralic G2 Dac/Streamer and that made a huge difference but when I tried hi-end cables for this, nothing so back to Kimbers and the standard wall plug. Sorry guys, it's like that EntreQ stuff or Shunyata Cable Risers, I don't hear it???
