Moderately priced power and optilink cables?


I just ordered a Denafris Pontus 2 DAC, which doesn't come with a power cable, and I'll need a short optilink cable to connect to a particular input. I have zero experience with either of these. I'm using mid-level audioquest connectors for a 6k system (MF amp, ATC speakers)

I'm looking at a Pangea Audio AC-14 power cable and an Audioquest Forest optilink? Is this a sensible plan? Any suggestions in the $40 to $100 range?

Thanks.

The entry level Audioquest power cords are amazing value for money. I started with the moderately priced NRG Y3s and at the end of the rabbit hole ended up with their Niagara 1200 power conditioner and Blizzard & Monsoon cables :)

I had for home trials Tellurium Q Black II power cords costing 1k€, Furutech ones worth 600€ and Gigawatt LC2 also worth 600€. In my system, I found that the Audioquest power products brought much more of that black background and image depth than the competition. But it might be system synergy and might be different on yours. Get yourself a home demo and have fun experimenting !
