REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables.
Al, Icepower uses only positive supply voltage and "H" Mosfet bridge for the output. That way at zero output (50% duty cycle) both speaker terminals have half of supply voltage vs. GND.Hypex usue positive and negative voltage plus only two output ...

There is nothing else. If noise floor is low and the jitter is low then it is only matter of quality of the D/A converter and analog output section which is independent of the type of the DAC. It might be possibly lack of jitter since people are u...

It should be "common mode chokes" - my spellchecker plays games with me.

Yes, you might find some USB port noise sensitivity in some DACs:http://archimago.blogspot.com/2015/05/measurements-usb-hubs-and-8khz-phy.html..and he finds one DAC in certain setting producing artifacts of noisy USB HUB but the same time he state...

I'm not sure what is the "Packet Noise" and what it has to do with the quality of the computer (faster computers tend to create more of electrical noise). Computer sends frame of data to DAC every millisecond increasing or decreasing number of sam...

Asynchronous USB DAC and network streaming (WiFi, Ethernet) have one thing in common - they change "music" to "data" by removing timing. When timing is recreated on the other side of the bridge (or inside USB DAC) computer's speed, amount of RAM e... 
Genesis V & Servo Amp
It depends how long. Year or perhaps even two wouldn't matter but equipment unpowered for very long time might fail with possible explosion. It is because electrolyte in Aluminum electrolytic capacitors eats out dielectric - Aluminum Oxide, loweri... 
EMI Circuit/Component Saturation
Williwonka, Saturation in magnetics occur when increasing magnetic field cannot increase magnetization anymore (magnetic flux limit). In 99% of cases magnetics are designed to stay below saturation levels. In addition saturation might depend on te...

Who told you this? AFAIK there is no such thing. 
Is Vinyl Worth It
Vinyl is a religion. Often people optimize their system for the vinyl and use CDs "for the convenience". It usually means that they cannot find recording they're looking for on the vinyl because of very limited selection. SACDs are generally consi... 
Compressing Music Files For Thumb Drive In Car
I'm using 32GB USB drive in my Honda Accord. Music is in 256K VBR AAC format and sounds great. The only problem is that Accord does not show directory structure. No matter how many directories I create (Jazz, Pop, Classical) it places all records ... 
Krell FPB600 can it be bridge to mono
Perhaps it is possible to respond fast enough with the bias to peaks at the input, since signal is subjected to small delay passing thru the amp? 
XLR or RCA?
Yes, XLR is more resistant to noise. Shielding plays bigger role in RCA since XLR has inherent noise rejection by usage of twisted pair. Materials still plays role (capacitance, dielectric absorption, metal purity etc.)On the other hand XLR often ... 
CD quality versus SA-CD ?is it worth it?
SACD supposed to be better by carrying 4x more info in addition to better transition response related to "weaker" low pass filters. It won't help a bit if it is converted from 16/44.1. IMHO it isn't worth the money. I would rather optimize 16/44.1... 
Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire.
People cannot hear the difference between cables for many reasons. It could be their system that is not resolving enough, could be their hearing instrument or just negative placebo effect since they often strongly believe, that cables cannot sound...
