Yes. I've got a lot of pieces with IEC power sockets. A DAC, speaker amps, headphone amps. I got'em.

The best option I highly recommend is to purchase 3 meters of Oyaide Black Mamba V2 bulk power cable directly from Japan through eBay. This will allow you to build two 1.5 meter (5 foot) DIY power cords at a cost of $98.25 each with free shipping for the bulk power cable. This is the minimum cost one should expect to pay for a high-performance bulk power cable. Terminate them with a set of unplated copper CMC Ti2000M AC connectors (made by IeGO of Taiwan) priced at $38.00 per set with free shipping through AliExpress, and you'll have a pair of true audiophile-quality power cords that I find perform better than much of what you'll find at a much higher price point.

If the cost of the Oyaide bulk power cable is simply too expensive for your budget, or you decide to build two Oyaide power cords for critical listening applications, and more DIY power cords for secondary applications in your audio system, a generic 10 AWG bulk power cable for only $11.90 per 1.5 meter length when terminated with the CMC Ti2000M AC connectors should provide substantially better performance than the stock power cords they will replace, although nowhere near the performance level of the Oyaide Black Mamba V2 bulk power cable.
