Advice on equipment
I own the Klipsch Forte III and two different models of ZU Audio speakers. They would work well with any of your compoients.

Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
@bossa Perhaps ask your dealer if he has a Red Dawn power cord that you can demo along with the Tyr and Frey that you already have for comparative purposes. There are many threads already on Audiogon regarding good power cords and I don't want to ... 
Power conditioner vs use of a audio grade outlet?
Yes, you definitely want a good wall outlet. There are various options available. Hopefully, a dedicated circuit going to that outlet.  
Speaker cables for my Focal Sopra No 1 or?
Your selections look to be very good, besides possible room treatments make sure you have a dedicated AC circuit with a good wall outlet.  
Lost it to Black Friday! Ordered it!

Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m

Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
Based on testing I've done with various high-end power cords, I have not been able to detect a difference within the music when comparing a 1/M cord to a 2/M or 3/M power cord. In addition to that +1 @charles1dad   
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
@lalitk Thus far I tried the Yellow on my Allnic - T1500 and Luxman 590 AXII, plugged into my Niagara 1200. Eventually, I'll get around to individual components and plugged directly into the wall outlet.  
Digital enhancement
The introductory price is $1000, to me, that's a lot to spend for that tweak. I'd rather spend more and buy a Puritan Audio PSM 156 power purifier.  
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
@tommylion I'm open-minded regarding audio tweaks. A few weeks ago I purchased one QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner - Yellow, the least expensive one offered. I'll admit that I need to give it additional break-in time and try it on additional co... 
Power conditions for Integrated Amps
I own two different integrated amps, an Allnic T-1500 300B tubed and a Luxman 590 AX II. I've tried both of them plugged directly into a dedicated 20 amp outlet and into my Niagara 1200. I detect no difference in what I hear. The moral of the stor...

@asa should be interesting definitely let us know. Why didn't you use a VooDoo adapter instead of the switch to a 15 amp IEC?  
Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics?
