Hi, I was wondering if it's worthwhile to spend a few buck on a power cord on a transport since it transfer only digital data.
I was using my power cord with my Cd player, now I bought a DAC, ans now I'm using it with the DAC, so I wonder if should get a power cord for the tranport.
I'll check for a power cable for my transport when time come, I'm using a power cable for my DAC and AMP, It make a great difference. I'm using gutwire product.
I have found PC on the transport always makes the biggest and best impact. PC's on components after that almost always make a difference but not necessarily for the better - just different.
Yes power cords can make a significant improvement on a dac --transport--cdp --pwr line cond --pre amp --amp--subs- even electrostaic speakers can benefit --but balance the cost of the item with the cost of the pwr cord--ie a 800 dollar transport with a 3000 dollar pwr cord- may sound great but it makes more sense to use a less expensive cord- try to find the best bang for the buck and the pwr cord with the most synergy for your system--it can be rewarding and frustrating--note the most expensive is not always the best.
