Yeah, I'd much rather put my money into my audio rig. But you might get a laugh knowing I'm feeding the Kingrex with a length of Tunami II and Oyaide C4/P4 connectors on either end. That PC is worth more than the PSU it feeds by a fair bit. Until a couple of months ago that PC was used to supply the regenerator which supported my video setup. That regenerator developed an issue and is currently out of service. So, I figured why not.

I'm currently using a DIY Acrolink 7N-P4020III power cord with Oyaide P-037 rhodium AC plug and Furutech FI-15(R) rhodium IEC connector for the Xfinity X1 digital CATV box's Zerozone 100VA PSU. The particular cable/connectors combo helps to present a very focused and vivid sonic signature for the digital CATV application. I've yet to notice any profound video improvements, but I have not paid much attention to the issue, since that aspect has always been more than satisfactory. From an audio perspective, the Oyaide P-037 rhodium AC plug is what Acrolink implements for their factory-terminated Acrolink 7N-P4020III power cord. It's the only bulk power cable product I found to sound exceptionally good with the rhodium plated phosphor bronze Oyaide P-037 AC plug, while the rhodium plated pure copper Furutech FI-15(R) IEC connector helps to provide a full-bodied, assertive midrange presence for the particular component. I'm looking forward to building two new DIY power cords to evaluate with the dedicated DAC, then use the other one for another audio component in my system.
I also took your recco on the Lifatec Toslink. I connect my Pio soundbar to the receiver via Toslink. Had been using the el-cheapo that came with the soundbar. Put the Lifatec in the chain prior to completion of the PSU project and cannot say it made too much of a difference. Although I have a feeling that it needed the PSU implemented to really shine. As I've said, audio was immediately affected for the good once the PSU was inserted. One of these days I'll put the cheapo Toslink back in and see if I can get a handle on which one of the changes had greatest impact.
