Signal applied "not phase coherent"?. Do you suggest that amplifier somehow shifts phase in the audio frequency range causing reduction of perceived loudness ??? 
Magnet Wire Question
Ultra_fi, Can you explain how drill changes structure of the wire material (copper) and what "change of structure" is? 
Magnet Wire Question
Al, I agree that skin effect might be unimportant. I only stated the boundary since cable companies (AQ FAQ) claim it is important and make all sorts of expensive arrangements like flat woven tape or helical twist of multiple wires on round hollow...

Magnet Wire Question
Theoretical skin effect in copper at 20kHz starts at gauge 18. Use drill - you'll never make even twisting by hand. Put at least one turn per inch. Twisted wire effectively reduces noise pickup for frequencies that have wavelength longer than pitc...

Ratio of peak to average power required, as Al said, is very high. Amplifier's power specification alone is only useful for listening to continuous sine-waves. Otherwise 10W amplifier with big headroom can sound much louder than 100W amplifier wit... 
How do you clean the volume pots of a audible m3 .

Is it really useless Upscaling 16/44.1 music to 24
Lewinskih01, There is no such thing as "Linear Power Supply". All power supplies are switchers and so called linear one is pretty bad one switching at 120Hz - frequency very difficult to filter out. Switching happens at the peak of the voltage whi... 
I'm looking for good analog interconnects
It wasn't bright in my system. Acoutic Zen Absolute, that replaced it, has pretty much the same neutral sound. King Cobra had great reviews as Python, before AQ moved production to China, lowered prices (to stay competitive) and renamed cables. 
Do Countries Have a "House" Sound
AFAIK British gear emphasizes warm midrange while US gear is a bit brighter with more bass. 
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...
