What would you recommend ?     clearer audio Copper-line Alpha ONE ,Chord Company SuperScreen , Chord powerchord 

I've read it works (the best results )with cd players but no mention about upgrading DA converters

For the best advice, I would try to email/phone the designer (Terry Bateman of Rega Research) and see if he has any suggestions regarding a mains cable upgrade.

Problem solved - from what I remember reading, the Rega dac has a captive lead so you can't replace it anyway.

Hang on, I see you have the Rega dac in your signature, I must be wrong. Ah no, (thinking aloud), now I remember, doesn't it have a different kind of connector on it? Daisy or something?

Hi datay

Rega's DAC uses a detachable mains lead with an IEC C5 connector.

All the best

Get a Mark Grant asp 2.5. He does a return if you're not impressed. I've got 2, quite brilliant.

I have a 50% silver and 50% copper custom-made mains cable for my Rega amp, and it really brings out the details to life without sounding harsh. Get something with silver for sure!!!

so I'll need  Pangea IEC-C5 adapter  where to buy it ?   The Dac does respond well to power cord changes.-  I've read .
