RE: Any new budget friendly bulk power cable for diy?

Your reasoning is insightful, but there's no need to dumb down one aspect of a design just because another aspect is not high performance. Even humble audiophile devices can benefit from high performance parts and tweaks. However, I think you are correct regarding the notion of never knowing what the Oyaide PA-23 bulk power cable is capable of unless premium AC connectors are implemented. But I think it's a better investment to obtain a product that offers future upgrade path potential as well as resale value. That said, from a distinctly high performance standpoint, I wasn't satisfied with the Oyaide PA-23 for use with a DAC in a second system until it was re-terminated with an Oyaide P-004 Beryllium AC plug and Oyaide C-079 Gold IEC connector. I would be disappointed in myself if you were unsatisfied with the Oyaide PA-23 when terminated with economy Wattgate AC connectors. Therefore, I suppose the disclaimer "YMMV" is appropriate at this time.
