Oyaide MWA-010T tape features a ferrous material called Sendust with inductive properties not unlike a ferrite bead/core, which tends to do more sonic harm than good when implemented as noise filters positioned on audio cables and power cords. That said, Oyaide claims MWA-010T doesn't degrade audio performance, but other than the Highwire Audio Power Wrap featuring both a high permeability material together with a dissipative material (which can also be unpredictable in terms of truly satisfactory audible benefits), I'm not convinced that a ferrous sheet is a good idea to wrap around any type of cable for audiophile purposes unless I hear the effects with my own ears. While there are a number of applications which benefit from the use of noise filtering sheets, a DC umbilical which doesn't emit detrimental noise in its own right is not the right location to battle noise generated within an audio system via noise filtering sheets, IMHO. A DC umbilical featuring a tightly twisted pair, or a twisted pair with braided shield is sufficient to reject RFI, EMI, digital hash emanating from other cables, cords, and components within an audio system. However, there's no reason other than the expense as to why you shouldn't experiment with Oyaide MWA-010T tape applied to a DC umbilical.
