Hi Filip,
I'm glad you like the sound of the CV2+, I also love it myself too.
Based on my ARTA measurements with the default power cord from here https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/burson-audio-conductor-v2.21385/reviews#review-21099 the "distance" between the mains hum and the 1V RMS 1KHz sinewave is 120dB, so definitely inaudible, so in my case changing the power cord makes absolutely no sense.
Changing the power cord to a DAC or a headphone amplifier has nothing to do with the output sound; the only thing that might change would be the decrease of the mains hum or elimination of a possible ground loop (not in my case) and, of course, the output look of your desk setup. Worth mentioning that if anyone has mains-hum or buzz-noises while music is not playing in CV2+, then adding an external 15 EUR EMI/RFI filter and/or a 35 EUR isolation transformer will eliminate any noises coming from the mains (again, not an issue in my case, so not recommended for my CV2+).
The big soundstage of the CV2+ is due to the almost 90dB difference between left and right channel on bass and midrange, which is a very good value for a headphone amplifier.
