Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
There's a very in-depth chat over 40 pages on the Furutech GTX D NSF receptacle, FI 50 R NSF and FI 09 R NSF on WhatsBestForum.

The Furutech GTX -d Rhodium is the best duplex you can get and to complement it, install the Furutech FI-09 Rhodium IEC on your equipment. BIG improvement especially for the cost of admission.

Older Shunyata power cables
Have you tried the Anaconda on the amp with the Taipan on the Oppo and see if that sounds better. If you get the Delta try that on the Oppo 1st then the pre. 
Shunyata Sigma VS Shunyata King Cobra CX
Perfect timing I just got the King Cobra CXA and Sigma Analog PC cables for my system, Currently the KC is on my Accuphase A65 amp and the Sigma Analog on my Arye QX 5 Twenty Dac. I always wanted to try a KC and had found one at a good price here ...
