What Mains cable?

I am getting ahead of myself a wee bit. I am getting the Stellar Gold Dac soon, so just doing my due diligence and research on a suitable power cable for THIS device. Thanks people

One possibility….

I use Cerious Technologies power cords on my PS DAC and Transport and Airlens…all 3 levels sound great, depending on budget…they have been running some sales on their refurb Matrix v1 cables which I use on the DS2 DAC and PST transport - great customer service too…

Budget goals would be appreciated/helpful…

I am continually amazed by the vast number of power cables there are for Hi-Fi enthusiasts and the incredible number of choices one has on the new and used market - in terms of manufactures with numerous offerings and the number of manufacturers.

Cheers.

PS

Do your research and buy used for the best bang for the buck.

I have tried quite a few brands in all different price range, and here is what I will recommend for Stellar Gold DAC:

Budget (sub $500): Anticable Level 3 PC

Mid-level ($1k +/-): Zavfino OCC Silver Dart PC

To better Silver Dart you really need to spend $2k+, then forum members here would have tons of recommendations.

I’m wondering who you have in mind.

Am in the UK ,if that helps. Budget will be about £500, as the UK price is £3999 for a new product

Peter, do you have access to the M101 power cables? I think they might be in that price range. I heard a demo of them this past November, and to me they easily bettered Audioquest Hurricanes. But system matching is always important.

I’m in the process of replacing my mixed loom of cables with the Siltech 680 line; balanced ICs and PCs.
