Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter?

I have a decent HiFi setup with all power cables as delivered by the manufacturer of the unit. I am contemplating upgrading the power infrastructure, but is a confused where to start? What makes the biggest bang for the buck? Power chords to each unit, mains blocks, mains conditioner, mains filter? Any advice before I move into this world? 

I have a streamer from Innuos being used for Tidal and Internet radio. A DAC from RME and an integration amplifier from Musical Fidelity. 

I live in a flat in a capital and the electricity is probably good, but for sure the SQ is better late evenings, which to some extent is leading me down this route.

I also live in an apartment and greatly lowered my AC noise floor by powering all my gear from a balanced AC power supply from Equitech, the industry leader .
 Modifying the wiring and plugs in my place were not options without risking eviction .I did later make my own power cords using Oyaide's Black Mamba cables and gold plated copper plugs and iec connectors to great benefit .

A side benefit was that the colors on my television also became richer , with blacker blacks . YMMV
