Has anyone experienced a sound quality improvement using an upgraded power cord on the RS130?
If so, what brand and model power cords would you recommend -?

Personally, I connected an Audioquest Firebird cable, the contribution is considerable, much more details, larger soundstage, better bass, the voices stand out much more, in short is in its place and the immersion in the music is total.
All my cables are Firebird or Thunderbird and Hurricane from Audioquest. Obviously other brands will also be very good and all will bring a notable improvement
Yes, power cable is important.
I am using a DIY cable made of OFC copper. Results are more or less as @PatriceP described.
How do you people even manage to turn a computer on?!

I recently bought a cable with diamonds on the surface of the cable and you couldn’t imagine what it sounds like. I don’t just hear the angels singing now, no, I also hear the aliens who are here and are camouflaged. Unfortunately, they were exposed by this diamond cable.
Listen to music and don’t listen to your stereo!!!

That’s cool. I’m using Synergistic Research on all my DACs. Just wondering if I should splurge on a more expensive model for the RS130.
You probably think there is no scientific evidence for speaker cables either right? Once I see one of these power cord critics who actually own a loom of reputable cables, maybe I’d listen.
I guess I must have been totally nuts to think an electronic device’s performance would be improved by enhanced delivery of electricity . Sorry for being so crazy .

That’s OK!!!
We’re all a little crazy.
Now, off to your padded cell.

Ifi supanova — A reasonably priced good choice. 
Apparently these cables perform well at a much lower cost. I might try the XLR interconnect and power cord.
