Power cord recommendation for DAC

Try the Von Schweikert Master Built Purple Line. This is the entry level into the line but they do a wonderful job.

At $295 this places the Sidewinder VTX at the same price as Triode Wire Labs 10 plus.

Any comparisons of the two?

Seems like your price range is right in the wheelhouse of the top offerings from direct marketers such as Morrow, Mg Audio, Triode Wire Labs, My Audio Cables (MAC), and Sablon as referenced above. If it were me, these guys probably all offer generous trial periods and probably compete with the major brands at 2x to 3x the cost, so why not have fun and try a bunch? Best of luck.

Hi Soix, never thought of it that way. I always figured I just get a well-reviewed one and only return if I don't like it. Having 3-4 PC at the same time to play around sounds pretty fun. :)

Yeah, and as we all know these cables are so system and listener dependent you really need to try at least a few to see what works specifically for you. Reviews are somewhat helpful for certain components, but especially with cables they really need to be taken with a large grain of salt imo. I think this is why these manufacture-direct types are so helpful particularly in the cable realm where shipping costs are relatively low and value-added high. Anyway, I'd be interested to hear about anything you try as I'm also in the PC market.
