Power Cord Recommendations for Bricasti M3

Title basically says it all.  

New M3 owner here and am loving this DAC.  

The previous owner indicated the DAC was not that fussy regarding PCs.

I started expensive with a Shunyata Sigma NR V2.  Very analog with a "soft" personality.  

I moved to a Shunyata Alpha NR V2 and liked it better.  Again, very analog with not as soft of a personality.

I moved to a JPS Labs Digital AC-X cord and gained some resolution/detail that seemed missing with the NR V2 cords.  So right now I'm using the inexpensive Digital AC-X PC. 

I'm wondering if the NR cords inhibit what the M3 needs.

I'm looking to continue the analog personality yet get the most detail out of the unit.

What have you found to have great synergy with the M3?

The M3 is already a little warm so go with a PC that may have neutral character. And IMO one that does not emphasize bass frequencies. ZenWave PL-11?? I owned an M3 and own PL-11’s but did not have them at the same time.

I've been using an Audiomica Callisto ac cord on my previous Bricasti M1 and now on the M3 and have been extremely happy with its performance.

Based on what you are looking for I would look at Inakustik.  It is good at delivering inner detail while not softening or coloring the sound dramatically. The Inakustik 1204 would be a good choice. 

I am a Bricasti dealer and have played with a lot of cables.  I have used the 2404 specifically but think it might be overkill in terms of amount of copper.  Thus the recco for the 1204.
