Question for Meitner DAC owners


I'm in the process of changing my amp and pre-amp, ( for the 50th time) - and started to play around with the power cord to my DAC 6E. I was astounded by the differences that I heard. I've never experienced that degree of change from a power cord.
I'm wondering what people are using with their DAC's.
An unrelated question - Is it ill advised to use two different length pc's for monoblock amps?
Thanks

Well, I took a look at your system, and frankly, if you couldn't notice the differences between power cords I would be surprised :). Great system.

I know this subject is controversial, and some of you guys will scream "heresy", but to me it's quite obvious. If you have a fairly good system that you're very familiar with, power cord changes can alter the sound you perceive. I can clearly hear the differences between various cords I swap out on my SCD-1 and Electrocompaniet Dac. The most expensive cords I've tried don't always win the battle either.

On my DAC i'm using a Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon cord. I put it up against a Kimber Palladian, PS Audio LAB-II, Custom Power Top Gun, Shunyata Black Mamba V2. I found the Carbon Ribbon performed best, with the Top Gun second.

Your results may of course differ, but you CAN hear the differences if you listen.
