I have had good success with the Acrolink 7N P4020II cable with Oyaide 079 and 004 connectors on all things digital. Picked up 10 meters from the rakuten site a few months ago on the cheap. Super high purity 'stress-free' copper. Little brother to the much more pricey 7N p4030ii. Had it cryo'd at Cryoparts in Mo. (cheap by the pound). Very smooth yet detailed. Be careful any cable on rakuten or ebay comes from Japon not a knock off from Chinay. :)

Interesting. I've found both the Oyaide 004 and the Oyaide 079 to provide poor synergy with the 14 AWG Acrolink 7N P4020iii bulk power cable. However, when the 14 AWG Acrolink 7N P4020iii is terminated with an Oyaide P-004 AC plug, and an Oyaide C-079 IEC connector, a very good tonal balance is achieved. I would expect a reverse configuration for the other two AC connectors might provide similar synergy with the 14 AWG Acrolink 7N P4020iii bulk power cable. Certainly worth a try, IMO.
Thanks for the input Duster.
I currently have an Acrolink terminated with a P-004 and a C-004.
I think it sounds great on my DAC.
The P-079 and C-004 was not quite as good, but still very acceptable.
I've got a P-079 plug and C-079 20 AMP connector I was going to use for an amp cable.
Have you ever tried to combine two of the 14 gauge 7N P4020ii for amp or power conditioner use?
I'm waiting on another P-004 currently from Japon.
I use a 14 gauge Acrolink 7N-P4020 III power cord with gold Wattgate evo AC connectors for a medium-current power amplifier in my computer workstation system and I like it for that application, and also use the power cord with various AC connectors for low-current gear elsewhere in both the computer workstation system and my main audio system. The 14 AWG power cord is not large enough gauge to be an optimum choice for a high-current power amplifier or as a power cord for a power line distributor/conditioner, but that does not mean it's inadvisable, since the clarity and nicely detailed treble characteristic of the Acrolink 7N-P4020 III is high-performance in nature, just not as large-scaled in terms of soundstage and imaging as a larger gauge power cord tends to provide. I you find it provides a strong bottom-end and satisfactory soundstage dimensions, there's no reason not to try it for those applications. A better option at this time is the 12 AWG Oyaide Black Mamba V2 bulk power cord at a similar, if not somewhat lower price point depending on the seller.
