Nick,

Good point. My system is analog, and my comments about the 8k (incorrectly) were based on analog inputs. Of course, you are correct about digital inputs not caring about power supply noise.

For the 8ks, the power cord would theoretically make a difference at the DAC and all points downstream. But when you are that level of electronics and all interconnects are internal (no possibility of external contamination), the power cord would then likely be more of a differnce than an improvemment, as you noted.
